Stained Glass on Vellum

I just spent Easter with my daughter and her family in San Antionio.  We have been wanting to do Bible journaling together for a long time.  Erica is a Stampin' Up demonstrator and is extremely creative and energetic.  She is braver and more spontaneous than I am, so she was an inspiration to me in many ways.  Here is her blog:

She has a new studio that her hubby created by putting up some walls and adding a lot of Ikea cabinetry. It is very near the hustle and bustle of her family's life which makes it possible to dash in for a few minutes and do a little creative work.

Here are some pics of me with 2 of my granddaughters working on our journals and you can see a piece of Erica's beautiful new studio:

The lesson we are going to do this week in journaling class is Erica's design.  She wanted a stained glass look.  She painted her directly on the Bible page and used Stampin' Up ink with an aqua painter.  It bled through the Bible page, but she did not mind at all. I did mine on vellum with Prang watercolor and outlined with a Micron.  I did the words directly on the Bible margin.
