I had some time today to be creative so I focused on
Anne's March Challenge: CASE Me. I was very much impressed with her watercolored
Tree of Hope ATC, so that was my selection to "Copy and Selectively Edit".
I created this on Strathmore 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. I first stamped the Dots with VersaMark ink and white embossed. I water colored over that using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Crushed Olive. Friendship Tree was stamped using Memories Dye ink in black. The tree was colored in using Copic markers.
Stamps: Friendship Tree-Stampington and Company; Cling Dots and Sentiment from Anytime Messages-Hero Arts.
Thought for the Day: Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." I'm walking by faith, praying for wisdom and seeking God's blessings. How about you? Amen!
Blessings to you,
nancy

ReplyDeleteYour thought for the day is beautiful! It reminded me of a time, years ago, when I taught a religion class to young kids. Faith was one of the subjects I chose to spend a lot of time on. Thank you for reminding us how important it is to have faith! :)
