There is Hope!

Today was a grumpy day for me!

Maybe grumpy is the wrong word, I was stressed!

Doing this journal page helped refocus me!

When we moved, to our home 8 months ago, the Lord told us that our house would be a

 house of Hope!

In the natural things aren't very hopeful and sometimes I find things overwhelming;

today was one of those days!

I was praying the whole time I worked on this page and I could feel some hope rising!

Then I got a not so good phone call...but faith is believing when we don't see, right?

So I will Hope and believe for Hope for each one in my house!

For this page I prepped it with Gesso, then I Mod Podged, bible pages.

Then I smeared a tan color paint, then a light green.

I mixed some bronze paint in with the medium paste, then I used a palette knife and a stencil.

While the medium was still slightly wet I dabbed some blue pearl ex,

I also used my Versa marker in random places and then put on pearl ex.

Pearl Ex needs to be used with something sticky, or it won't stick.

I haven't used my pearl ex in years, I will be using them much more often now; love!

One thing that I learned and won't be doing again is using markers.

I used my SU marker and the spritzer and sprayed the page randomly but

when I put the Mod Podge on, the spritz all smeared and looked dumb!

So then I had to do other things to cover up that, hence the white bubbles!

Does anyone know how to get around this?
