I Can Do All Things ~ GIU Day 1

For my 2025 week with Growing in Unity, I decided to share with you several ways to use Unity stamps in Bible Journaling.  I must start by saying I am new to this project and learning as I go through each page.  Like our card making and many other crafts, there is no right or wrong way to do this art, it is driven by what your heart feels is right for you. 

My Bible is a very large spiral bound version with wide margins, made for journaling art.  I've referenced it below under the Products section. For me, I prefer to leave the scriptures visible for the most part, although this is an art Bible, not the Bible I use for reading or worship at church.  

Day One ~ I'm starting the week with my favorite scripture ~ Philippians 4:13, and Unity Stamps Maria Girl by Angie Blom.  Here's the finished page and then a little about the steps I took to make this page.

If you don't know my work, I am a Copic colorist and enjoy coloring daily.  For this design, I simply stamped the beautifully drawn Marie Girl on 110# Neenah cardstock and used Copic markers for coloring.  After fussy cutting her out, I inked the edges with Copic RV95 and set her aside.  

I stamped another image and cut out to use as a mask, securing it to the Bible page.  Using the Distressed Oxides referenced below, and a Flower stencil from Stationary Pal, I made the background for the angel to rest in the center of.  Then I added the light pink shade fading from the design to the edges of the page to allow for blending.  I used a very thin line of Lineco Book Binding Glue on the back of the angel and secured her in place of the mask.

The sentiment is from the same package, but wasn't large enough to fit the space needed for this project.  After stamping, I enlarged the image to a square about 2 3/4" and then used the Gina Marie Designs Loopy Square Die for the beautiful edge.  I secured it to the 3" square burgundy cardstock and then added to the page in my Bible. 

Thank you for stopping by today, especially those who are here from the Unity Stamps site!  I'd love for you to 'follow' my blog postings if you don't already.
