Some years ago someone left an inexpensive New Testament at my door, and immediately I removed the binding and brushed gesso on all the pages. I handed these out at my entry level class on Bible Journaling, as newbies are reluctant to start in their actual bible. Some pages were left over, and I occasionally will use one - like today!
I brayered Pool Party ink, then lightly sponge-brushed white acrylic over everything. Used a sponge dauber to stencil some designs with Coastal Cabana ink. Used White Craft ink and White embossing powder to add the trees. Die cut the star & words. Die cut the snow bank, then used a paper piercing template to evenly space the border holes. Assembled on a card blank made of mixed media paper, then added Stickles and left for lunch so it could dry.
I am happy with the experiment; all it needs now is a 9x6 inch envelope...
Thank you, Dagmar - and enjoy seeing how you inspire our Community!

Fabulous CASE I always love stamping over text, but I think it's especially great that you did that for a Christmas card. Love the colors you used here and those tree stamps are gorgeous. Super impressed with the paper piercing -- I don't think I could have done that well even with a template. As Roberta said, this is a Wonderful Winterland, indeed.

Really pretty page, Gayle. Great extra details and the perfect color!!!
Love your idea for getting people started on Bible Journaling with an old Bible as well.
Super case, Hugz
