Psalm 107 * He stilled the storm

He stilled the storm to a whisper, the waves of the sea were hushed. Psalm 107:29

Er verwandelte den Sturm in Stille und beruhigte die Wellen. Psalm 107:29

I am part of My Favorite Things design team and I love to create for this wonderful company. We have crafty challenges for everyone who wants to play along. There's a weekly sketch challenge, a by-weekly color combo challenge and more. This BAJ layout is inspired by the current sketch challenge. You can find the sketch and the product list below.

I started with the sea. It's just some simple ink blending using Distress Oxide ink and the Drifts & Hills stencil. It is such an easy but fun way to create an ocean scene. Next, I did the sun. I used Distress Oxide ink again and the Radiating Rays stencil. After ink blendig with the stencil, I did some more over the white spaces of the sun to get lighter and darker rays.

I wanted to highlight one verse, so I covered it with Purple Tape (or washi tape) and ink blended over it. After carefully removing the tape, you can see the highlighted words. I really like this effect.

Now for the little girl. I stamped her onto watercolor paper and colored her with Faber Castel Watercolor Markers. Then, I cut her out using the coordinating die. I glued her in place and stamped some fishes in Distress Oxide ink to give the ocean a bit more interest. Now, I added a handwritten note to the sun and my page was done.

I hope you got inspired. If you'd like to join the My Favorite Stamps Sketch Challenge, hop over to the MFT Blog! We would love to see what you create.
