I am LOVING working in this Greatest of These is Love Journal!
God not only says, but commands us to “Love with all your heart.” And He tells us exactly what/Who we are to love—Him. Our highest calling in our lives is to love Him because He first loved us. And to love others as we love ourselves. A simple command, but not always easy to do. A simple command worthy to be put simply on this spread.
This spread has a simple focal point and simple message, on a multi-layered, colorful background with rich depth.
The layers began with ink blending. I love this combo of Speckled Egg, Saltwater Taffy, and Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Inks.
I thought it needed some Picked Raspberry, so stenciled on some Roses to brighten it up further.
And then a pop more of Dusty Concord with a Grunged stamp. Did I mention I love this soft but bright combo of colors?! 😍
Tracing a circle die with a Micron Pen began defining a place for my focal point. And retracing and smudging it and the page edges with a Picked Raspberry Distress Watercolor Pencil helped pull it all together.
Various stamp sets came together to make up my sentiment: Tiny Text from Tim Holtz in Black Soot Archival Ink, Illustrated Faith “Love”, and heart from Glam Girl in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. I did go over the Picked Raspberry Ink with Distress Paint to intensify them, and make them permanent.
Die cut coffee mugs from Fresh Brewed by Tim Holtz make for a simple but impactful focal point. Cut from white textured cardstock. Hearts painted with Picked Raspberry Distress Paint, and “coffee” colored with Ground Expresso Distress Oxide Ink.
