Hi friends! I'm so enjoying my time as a guest designer this month at Creative Worship Stamps. 😊 I made a morning glory sympathy card using several shades of blue Distress Ink Sprays on a white background panel. I spritzed randomly, then followed up with spritzes of water to smooth out the colors. Once dry, I used a MISTI tool to stamp the morning glory bouquet from Sympathy Morning Glories in Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the blue panel. Without removing the panel from the MISTI, I then used some acrylic paints in shades of blues and greens to paint the flowers and leaves. The paint was thinned out a bit with water to make it sheerer and easier to maneuver. And when that was dry, I re-stamped the morning glory bouquet with the black ink again to bring the image back to life. A small sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped on a tag, and I added a twine bow from my stash.
Morning glories are one of my favorite flowers (hydrangeas are #1 in my book). Since my kids were little, we've grown them in our backyard. One of the core memories for my daughters is when we'd go out in late summer / early fall and begin harvesting the seeds of the morning glories. The seeds are in little pouches with dry husks around them, and the seeds are so smooth. We would pluck the pouches and put several into our palms, and roll them around a bit and blow away the dry husks / chaff, leaving you with just the seeds. Totally reminds me of God's Word. Matthew 3:12 AMP: His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom), but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”
