This is the Day

It's a new year and I am resolving to make Bible Journaling part of every week!  I am excited to resume my monthly Bible Journaling group on the 4th Tuesday of each month, where we worked on this page together.  We were assigned the verse Psalm 118:24 and we have a month to study, reflect, and create how we feel led. 

On the left page, with the help of some new friends, I tried using gesso and acrylic paint for the first time.  I used a strip of washi tape to create the straight line and then when the paint dried, removed the washi tape.  My plan was to trace a template after painting the page, but I quickly learned you can't see through the page after using gesso and paint.  So I decided to just stamp flowers over the paint with a few word stickers added.  

I then had to move my verse over to the right hand page.  I traced a Karla Dornacher design in pencil, then over again with my favorite black marker.  Since the verse seemed so uplifting (especially for a melancholy temperament like me!), I decided to use a lot of bright colors:  Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush and Melon Mambo seemed perfect!  I then used Blender Pens to color in the drawing, my favorite tool for not bleeding much through the page.  I pray that I am thankful for every day God has given me!
