Hebrews 4:12

For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Faith

 

I have been following Documented Faith . 

Stephanie has weekly devotionals with pdf files 

that I have placed in my journal

 with Fun Stampers Journey stamps, and ink.   http://homegrownhospitality.typepad.com/df/

"Faith is confidence in what we Hope for & Assurance about what we don't see." Hebrews 11:1

 

I have found a wonderful blog called Documented Faith

Each week is a devotional that features downloadable artwork

I downloaded the "Faith" scripture seen above, and traced on my page.

The girl, and cat are a Phyllis Harris Design stamp from Unity.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils, and softened with Gamsol

Bible Art inks

 
With my Bible Art,I have tried a multitude of inks (because I own a lot)
SU, CTMH, StazOn, Palette, Fun Stampers Journey, Memento, Versa, Ranger, and they all bleed thru in varying degrees. I don't mind the bleed through. 
I have 2 Bibles for Art, in case I want to create on the backside of an already inked page.
Here is a great post regarding the subject of inks. Illustrated Faith HERE

Using Prismacolor pencils, I used the fall color palette seen below

Sing Praises to God ~ Psalm 47

The girl and flowers are rubber stamps. For the lettering, I use alphabet stickers, touch them to my pants/shirt to get majority of adhesive off, then stick in place, and trace. I color with Prismacolor pencils, and soften with Gamsol

...see who has created these Stars Isaiah 40:26

 

Isaiah 40:26King James Version (KJV)

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

Fun Stampers Journey stamp set, and ink

Outlined stars, and underlined verse with Micron pen

Bible Art ~ Hope in the Lord

Psalm 31:24

24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

I stamped with Fun Stampers Journey Black licorice ink, and use 2 purple shades Prismacolor pencils. I just color the center, and outer petals using strokes, not a circular pattern.

This is Gamsol. It has a spongy top. You will invert the bottle for the sponge to get moist. Press the "blending stump" onto the moist spongy top.

Then using strokes from the center out, and blend. Then go to end of petals with long strokes, and blend. I get my Gamsol from Inky Antics. 

This is the flower after using Gamsol.

Stamp set is "Full Bloom" from Fun Stampers Journey. It was the May Kit of the Month and will be available for purchase Sept 1st.. "Where Flowers Bloom..." is part of this stamp set. The other lettering, I used stickers, lightly adhered to my page, then traced around with a Micron pen. Gently peeled away stickers and colored in.
