Journaling the Names of Jesus

 I am in the Old Testament today, from Isaiah 11:1, a title and beautiful messianic prophecy of Jesus the One who fulfills all prophecy. I have a couple of process tips that might be helpful when creating digitally. First, the page:



For this page, I used my huge Illustrating Bible

This is one of my favorites. I hope they release a KJV version. The paper used is a wonderfully smooth, slightly warm white. It takes paint and markers beautifully, and glue never makes it rumple. For today's page, I used Reflections Dove White to print my Leibschen Blom digital on 65#, almost a perfect match color-wise and close weight-wise.
 
A little hard to tell from this shadowy photo.
This digital came in a European A4 size, just a little larger than the US standard letter size of 8×11.  To compensate  for the size difference, when you are ready to print, you can go into your printer preferences 




In the page box click A4, and then in the next box click on letter size. Your computer/printer will resize for you and your image will printout correctly. 
Another factor is paper type and saturation. 

For this image, I clicked on cardstock and high quality and got the opposite result. The printout was very faded, and the colors were slightly off. 
In this image, I used plain paper and high-quality printing.

And it came out perfect. Every printer is different, and you really have to experiment with both of these types of settings until you have figured out how you will get your best prints. I use a Canon G6270 printer, and I have great results. This is one of the refillable tank models and ranges under $200.00. I print a ton, and my ink expenses are under $100.00 a year. This is a far cry from the days when I used a cartridge ink system and would refill the cartridges with bulk ink and hypodermic needles



I created what I hope looked like an old dried up tree trunk to add the fussy cut branches, I took a few minutes for placement and started gluing. 
I really enjoyed working with this digital, these are some of my favorite colors and I really wanted to do this beautiful passage justice!


I cut the title into tiles, colored and glued.  Highlighted the passage.
I still have this beautiful page and flowers to work with. 


I hope this little tutorial was helpful. I have my resource links below. 
Have a wonderful day, and bring Jesus with you wherever you go!

This Week's Dexi Cards, Free Digital Framed Scriptures for Your Crafts.

Image
 Two weeks ago, I started making Dexi scripture journaling cards.  I've had the Rolodex for a few years to make and trade these cards.  They are so fun!  I keep a very small 3"x3" basket on my desk with bits of pretty paper and lace leftover from card-making or Bible journaling.  I have hundreds of digitized verses from   Word Art Wednesday  created by digital artist Karen Murphy.  I love adding a frame to these verses for gifts,  cards, and now these Dexis.  The only process involved is really cutting and gluing : One more way I can hide the word in my heart and, hopefully, share it with others!! Now my gift to you!  To save these, if you are new to the digital world, Right-click on the image and save it to a file on your computer or download it to your phone.  I hope you enjoy using these in your worshipful art! Have a great day Ginny M. Aslo sharing these with Word Art Wednesday

Journaling Psalm 62:5,6 and Freebie Digital Stamp for you.

Image
 Today's Bible journaling is on Psalm 62:5,6.  I've had these verses written on a piece of paper for a few days, working on memorizing the passage. It is a great comfort in times of stress; it brings to mind that the Lord is my fortress and my rock, He is the Alpha and Omega, and the Righteous King.                             Visually interpreting the Word of God is something I take seriously and enjoy very much, and I want my art, or my use of other art, to always honor Him. Finding or creating an image can be challenging. I am not skilled at drawing or lettering, which is why I started rubber stamping in the first place! I'll show you the page, and if you're interested in the process and freebie, keep reading.   This is my Crossway ESV Journaling Bible  I have a few that I am currently working through. This is my first specific journaling bible. I started this one in 2017. It is a smaller s...

A Quick Card Tonight and a Freebie

Image
 I made a small batch of birthday cards tonight for the church card ministry that I run. I particularly liked this one - it is Asian, red, and simple, and I was able to use origami paper.                     This is an A6-sized card. I trimmed 2" from the 6" square piece of Oragami paper  and used it to line the envelope.  This is the first time I think  that I have done this. I love it. The Oragami paper was purchased on Amazon for a very good price.  Great for Sunday school crafts too! The Sentiment: Birthday Blessings.  I create sentiments in other languages using Google Translate and designing them in  Publisher . This is a lot of fun!!!! Your freebie for today I hope you have a great day, Ginny M
