Friends of Unity-September Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the September Friends of Unity Blog Hop! This month, we are using a color challenge for our inspiration. Our weather has been so hot, it’s nice to feel the cooler breezes of fall.  

My first project is a mixed media layout in my prayer journal. Owls always make me think of my dad. He’s collected cool figurines of owls for years.  And, he’s wise ❤️ I love the process of creating as I pray through a worry or a praise, sharing my heart.  My dad’s health has been a subject of many prayers—both worry and praise in the last several years.  Today, I praise—each day is a gift.

I started by covering my prayer with various paper scraps, gesso and paint. Next I stenciled texture paste to create the leaves, using ink sprays to color.

I used images from All That Grunge on the background and then added more interest with black and white florals from Special Place.  I thrifted a ton of gauze fabric - which is so great for adding more texture to project— it was quite the find!  I added a frame of it behind the main image from Soulful Owl. Isn’t he gorgeous? The sentiment is also from Soulful Owl—and perfectly fits a journal page dedicated to my Dad.  

This color challenge really got me in a fall mood, so I made a few cards, too. 😉

Thanks for stopping by!  This is always a great hop, full of beautiful projects and inspiration.  To start at the beginning, visit Crystal’s blog.
