Hello and welcome to the Hi~Notes stop on the GIU Blog Hop!!
I have a travel Journal for you today that came about by divine accident!!! I have been loving the "galaxy" background technique that I learned on the faceBook.com Unity Show & Tell page ~ if you go there your sure to find all kinds of things that inspire you ~ search "galaxy" to see lots of amazing galaxy posts!
In teaching the resist technique to my 4H club with watercolors and white heat embossing, I used the lacy stamp from the Bohemian Backgrounds to demonstrate for the girls, but mine turned out terrible! For some reason I just didn't like anything about it! I added color - lots of color - Still a miss!! It'd been on my table for a couple of weeks and then it occurred to me to rub black on it and turn it into a galaxy!!! I loved it but no project in mind. Again it stayed for another week, resurfacing now & then!
The surfer girl from "...The Unknown Path" landed on it by chance yesterday & EUREKA!
So a little fussy cutting and layering later this is what I came up with! It went from being a card to being a wall hanging to being a travel journal!! The best part for me was finding the sentiment!
I have seen the sky like this (well almost!) It is so vast and brilliant and I feel so small. I wanted to convey that feeling so this project is a full 12 tall!! When I read this sentiment from "...And For A Moment" all I could think of is this was how it felt to stand there under the firmament surrounded by God. I even got tears in my eyes & I knew it was the right one :) The fish is a freehand along with the shadow of JESUS behind the sentiment. I did it both ways but I really liked the way the shading was actually my lord and savior right there on the card :)
Well I'd planned for this to be a short post but . . . Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment on my blog as well as on everyone elses in the hop for the chance at some fun prizes from Unity Stamp Co!
