Hi there! Welcome to my blog. Today I am featuring the Easter Greetings and Reckless Love stamp sets from Joy Clair Stamps. I prepared two different projects, so lets start with the Easter card.

On this card I used the flowers included on Easter Greetings stamp set. Using my mini Misti, I stamped the flowers with VersaFine Onix over Bashful Blue card stock. I keep my stamps in the same place on the misti and I just rotated the paper. I colored the images with Polychromos from Faber Castell.

I said that I keep the stamps in the same position on the misti, because after colored the images I re-stamped the flowers to have more definition over the black lines. On the next photo you can notice the difference. 

With the heat tool I dried the ink because the pigment don’t dry quick over the color pencils. Then I fussy cut the flowers with my scissors and arranged over a Bashful Blue layer pasted them with double sided foam tape. To make this layer more attractive, before to paste the flowers I scored several horizontal lines.

In a separate piece of bashful blue card stock, I stamped the sentiments with VersaFine Keep Lagun, fussy cut the big word and pasted over the card. I finalized the decoration adding some Teal Jewels from Kat Scrappiness.

My second project is a page of my bible journaling. I prepared the page applying Clear Gesso or Gesso Transparent, and let it dry naturally, about one hour or two with this weather. After that I colored the entire page with Gelatos from Faber Castell and diluted the color with an aquapainter or pain brush. Right now I am using the water brush pens from Arteza and to work on my watercolor projects are perfect.

I stamped some flowers and leaves included on the stamp set Reckless Love using VersaFine Ink over whisper white card stock. The colors of ink that I used were Imperial Purple and Spanish Moss. I fussy cut all the stamped images and pasted over my colored page on the bible journal using On Point Glue.

I selected one of the sentiments included on the stamp set Reckless Love and stamped it on the lower part of my colored page with VersaFine Onix.

This is the first time that I used this type of Gesso over my bible journal and definitely I love it. The colors and the inks work amazing and the back of the page is clean. I used Clear Gesso from The Crafter’s Workshop but on the market you can find many brands.

I hope these projects inspired you to explore different techniques and enjoy more your meditation and creativity time. remember that ALL FEBRUARY our stamps are 25% OFF using the code SHARE25, and we have a new release that I defined as perfect release!
