Up today is another page in my Greatest of These is Love journal. This one was inspired from a cardmaking session. I used the same techniques. Same basic theme. Similar colors. But ended up with a totally different look. ‼️😊 The instructor’s card was softer and floral. And my make—😮
I started with blues, instead of her blue-greens, since I already have more than one blue-green page in this journal. So that changed my tone-on-tone stenciling from her leaves to my stars. Of course, I had to adjust her portrait card layout for my long and narrow journal page—and I don’t have a postage die, like the instructor used. I also wanted something other than another flower (as she used for her focal point) since I don’t have large variety of large flower dies/stamps, and already have several floral pages.
So, I took her postage stamp theme to postage correspondence in general. Making it Bible focused—my Love Letter from God! Good News sent. The vellum she used behind her focal point, I used to make my envelopes, and there are Bible pages in them.
My Fine Detail Embossing powder obviously is not, 😕 so my embossed stamping in the background is far more “distressed” than I wanted. But the message about God’s Word is there. Special Delivery. Handle with Care. Received.
Instructor’s inspiration—gone rogue! 💖
