Trust in Him

Trust in Him at all times,

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

~Psalm 62:8

I am playing with the Rubbernecker watercolor floral stamps again.

This time I have used Fall Tree:

I inked the stamp with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink pad and then with a fine paint brush and re-inker ink I added the details with Gathered Twigs, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint. The image was misted then stamped onto watercolor paper.

The sentiment (Trust in Him) was stamped with Dark Brown Fluid Chalk Ink.

The background stamp (Brushed Hearts) was inked randomly with all the colors of the tree, misted thoroughly and then stamped onto watercolor paper.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!

Strength and Dignity

She is clothed in strength dignity and she laughs without fear of the future
~Proverbs 31:25

Today's card uses Rubbernecker watercolor floral stamps with a Proverbs 31 verse:

I used Bunch of Poppies from Rubbernecker.

The blossoms were inked first with Barn Door Distress ink, stamped off (on a scrap piece of office paper) and then inked with Festive Berries. The stems are inked with Bundled Sage.

Before stamping I misted the stamp with colorless shimmer spray (Perfect Pearls and water).  The result is a shimmery watercolor effect. (I am not good at photographing the shimmer.)

The sentiment She is Clothed was stamped with Archival Jet Black.

Thank you for stopping by, today!

Daffodil and Crayons

I pulled out my watercolor crayons once again.  Like with the mum I colored the stamp and then misted the colored stamp. Then I stamped onto the paper.

I just love the way these watercolor floral images stamp!  

Images: "Daffodil" (#753); "I am the vine"(736-03); and "Branch Shadow" (718) all from Rubbernecker Stamps;
