rest in his grace

Happy Wednesday! 

Tomorrow at All That Scraps, Julie Buhler will be releasing her first set of digital images called Encouraging Verses.  They are all in a grayscale format but can be changed to the colors and size that suit your needs in your own computer program.

Here I paired one of the verses with one of Christine’s Gingersnap angels from her Hey Cupid! stamp set.  I thought they went together well!  And once again, I used some more of my DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies paper.  Love that paper! 

Before I colored my image with Copic markers, I stamped and cut out a mask.  Then I tried to make a blue “airbrush” effect around the angel.  My friend, Lesa, is an airbrush queen….I love how she airbrushes her projects with her Copic markers and an air compressor!  I don’t have a small compressor, though, and I am not about to trudge out to the garage and use DH’s large one!  LOL.  So I tried to make do with what I have….an Inkworx air art tool.  I got mine years ago…I can’t remember where.  Stampin’ Up! carried them for a while too.  Anyway, my Copic markers wouldn’t fit into the tool, so I grabbed my SU! Ballet Blue marker to make the background.  It’s not quite as nice as the Copics with the air tools but I think it will be fine with some more practice.
