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
