Distress Oxide Bible Journaling

Hello friends! OK...I'm trying to use another medium besides Distress Oxide Inks, but it's tough...I LOVE them! Today's project features more Distress Oxide techniques along with the brand new Printables from Sweet 'n Sassy. I am giddy over the printables...they are amazing! Pre-colored images that you download and print. Add a little adhesive and they're ready to use in art or Bible journals. There's even a short study included with your purchase! And it's only $7.99! Fun stuff!

I have a short video for you today that showcases the new products as well as a quick and easy way to add color to your Bible pages. Hint - Distress Oxide Inks! They work great on the thin paper, no bleed through and amazingly soft coverage. Give it a try! You can click on the image below to check out the product in the SNSS store. Happy crafting!

Alcohol Ink Background Technique & Video

Hello crafty friends! I hope that you're having a wonderful holiday season. Thanks to a reduced work schedule (yeah for vacation time!), I have found more free time to create just for fun...that's the best crafting time! I had a bunch of tags left over from the LetterIT release and decided I wanted to use them in an art journal layout. The above project, combined with an alcohol ink background technique, was the perfect way to spend an afternoon! Close up photos below, along with a video and a link to my Big Picture Classes, which features the alcohol ink technique along with four others, all developed by Wendy Vecchi and focused on using her fabulous products! (All techniques demonstrated with Wendy's permission!) Happy Crafting!
