Hi everyone. I you had a blessed week. This is my second Bible Art Journal entry. And, I am very excited on how it turned out!
Last Sunday, our pastor introduced a year long series that he will be doing one a month, "He knows my name". I mean talk about confirmation from God on what He has been sharing with me. If this is your first time here, check out the previous posts. I tell you about the song God has placed in heart for this year and you will totally get what I mean.
So here is the final design...

So here is the final design...
- I started with an adult coloring book that I purchased (here is the video that I did to review it)
- The pages are perforated so I was able to tear out the image that I wanted which was a flower.
- I placed the paper underneath the Bible page and started to trace the flower as best as I could.I added a piece of Washi tape to help hold the paper down.
- I then free- hand the word CHOSEN on a blank page of copy paper. I had to make it dark enough to be able to see the word.
- I free-handed some scroll work in pencil to make a border around the word and image.
- Using Prismacolor pencils, I had fun coloring in the word and image.
- Using the Faber Castell PITT Artist Pen, I traced everything again but this time in black. I like this pen, it didn't bleed through except little dots where I did the small letters but not even that noticable.
- Grab the Gelatos!!!! I love these things! I scribbled a little blue for shadowing and then taking my finger, the blended it out. It came out so nicely!
- Lastly, I used Wink of Stella in clear glitter on the word and flower. It came out so pretty. Unfortunately my camera flash kept picking up the shimmer.
- At the end I decided to use my pencil in blue and highlight the scripture.

CHOSEN
John 15: 16, 19
v16 You did not choose me, but I chose you... v19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
This gives be comfort and a place of belonging. It is kind of like when we were kids and always afraid that we wouldn't be picked for a team or (((gasp))) picked last. With God there is no anxiety. If we decide to "play", He will always chose us for His team. We are chosen to be in His family, in His kingdom, for His purpose... WE BELONG! No matter what we do, if we look to Him, He will call us Chosen!
