Psalm 33:22 * Unfailing Love

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:22

This page looks so calm and peaceful and I love how it turned out. Well, let me tell you the story behind. I started this page with a completely different look in mind. It did not turn out well and I tried to fix it and it just got worse. I disliked the page so much, it really bothered me and I painted all over it with white paint. The white paint mixed with some of the colors below and created a beautiful pastel background. I was so pleased and the perfectionist in me was happy again. I went trough my stash and found this adorable stamp that reminded me of myself and my beloved childhood dog. And as I was crafting, I realized how meaningful this process actually was.

Sometimes, I make mistakes. I regret them, I wish they didn't happen and if I try to fix them on my own, it can get worse. But if I let God into all my troubles, he is able to paint over my mistakes with white paint, so I can have a fresh start. There might be some spots, where the past shines through but God uses them to create something beautiful. So I want to focus on love, on God, and be still and heal.

Psalm 119:165 * Great Peace

Great peace have those who love your law and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:165

I played with my Gelatos and created a large rainbow all over my page. But first, I masked off the verse I wanted to highlight with washi tape. After the coloring was done, I removed the tape carefully and drew a frame around the words to highlight them even more. Because Gelatos can smear, I used some fixing spray to seal them.

Next, I die cut the dove, the word and two clouds from white card stock and heavyweight vellum. I glued the bird in place and added a green die cut twig. As glue would be visible behind the clouds, I adhered them with small staples. To finish up the page, I wrote my main thought down. 

What is your favorite bible verse against anxiety?
