Journaling the Names of Jesus, Lion Of Judah, Rev. 5:5

     Bible Journaling is something I really enjoy for many different reasons.  Before I start with paper and ink, I spend time reading the word, finding more about the subject, and just letting my mind go to the time and place of the passage of scripture. I generally do this after my devotion in the morning.  I will do the page after work or after dinner if it is a work day. I don't rush it; I let it water my soul.            

      Today, the subject was Jesus the Lion of Judah. It made me think of the Lord's power and majesty, of the great temple of Solomon, and of God's grandeur and richness. I will show you my finished page, and if you are interested, the process and resource links will follow. 

Today's page was almost a disaster. I tried something different, and it didn't work.

As I usually do, I gather the things I will journal with.  Today's Digital is by Liebshen Bloom, 

using a larger interleaved bible with very durable paper. I don't always use a digital, but when I do I enjoy the challenge of using someone else's gift along with mine to create something unique.

I did a lot of fussy cutting of the lilies and struggled with where and how to place the focal image of the Lion.  Then I had a great idea, print on sticker paper.  I didn't want a glossy finish, so I used "frosty clear." I wasn't sure what that stash find even was,

                  For the background, I cut the background digi in strips, inked the edges, and basket-wove the strips. I wanted it to look like the temple wall still standing in Jerusalem.

After Glueing down the background and highlighting the lilies, I did a little shading on them

I inked a bit of the bible paper behind the lion

and carefully placed the sticker.

And then I knew why it was called frosty white, and said, Oh No!!

I tried to blend ink onto the vinyl, and that made it worse—it actually took the inkjet ink off the sticker paper! I fussy cut a new lion image and thought to glue over it, but that looked terrible. So I just took a deep breath and lifted the sticker off the paper, hoping it wouldn't put a hole in the paper. It came close!

This is what my desk looked like at this point:

A mess, I kept losing things under the mini piles.

After 20 minutes, I had everything I wanted and felt good about this page.
