Glory to God in the Highest Luke 2:14

The verse for this week's journal entry is from the Christmas story in the book of Luke.  I used a stamp my daughter gave me from Stampin' Up. (http://www.pinkbuckaroodesigns.blogspot.com)  She is such a wonderful paper and stamp artist. and I know she could come up with something more beautiful and creative than this.

You should stamp Color Box black pigment ink stamp or anything that  won't bleed through . I colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The stamp is 3 1/2"  x 4 1/2",  so I had to place it at the end of the book of Mark where there was a very large space.  One of my students reminded me that I could have done it on vellum and made an overlay.  Wish I had.

Okay, I have to admit that I made a huge mistake!!  I forgot to test the ink before I stamped the page with Staz On ink.  I always test things before I commit to the real page . . . . . except this time.  I just forgot.  GRRRRR.  It bled through to the first page of Luke -- badly.  So I colored the other page too.  I couldn't do anything with the scripture that bled through.  It was my plan not to cover up any Bible verses ever.  Live and learn.

I used cool colors with a touch of yellow.  This might be pretty in all different shades green or shades of red - Christmas colors.  The green color represents eternity or the red, the blood of Christ.
