Happy Saturday!
Today was a productive day - finally finished staining our house - we only started at the beginning of August. Uugh. It has been a long process and about 5 Saturdays of hard labor. I'm just not use to that - LOL.
I had some time to make some cards this evening. I actually stamped this image about a month ago. It was August's homebound ministry card. The image is from Clear Dollar Stamps "Peace for the Journey". When I saw this set I knew it would be perfect for the homebound ministry.
This is really a simple card. I used my watercolor crayons, which felt good considering I had not had them out in years. I decided to experiment a little and filled my Ninja water brush with Potion #9.
At the last Angel Company Seminar {June 2011} one of the guest speakers was from Tsukineko and she shared all sorts if techniques using their products. The advantage of Potion #9 over water is that it doesn't wrinkle the paper believe it or not. I didn't need to use watercolor paper; I used PTI white cardstock. I had been meaning to try this technique for over a year and finally did - it worked really well.
Inside, I used another Clear Dollar Stamp; I'm not sure it is still available though.
The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
