A Little Darker Than I Planned

Sometimes when I set out to demonstrate a new product or technique in my illustrated Bible journaling classes, I end up with something a little different than I envisioned.

For example, when I grabbed a shimmery brownish Gelato and a baby wipe to add a background on a Bible page recently, the color was much darker than I anticipated! Of course, since the first "rule" I share in every class is that perfection is highly overrated, I just continued on and covered the page!

Later, when I sat down to review those scriptures and add some journaling, I decided to adhere a couple of tags together in the margin as a lighter space for my title and prayer.

I added a tab, some washi tape and a few Illustrated Faith Hexies for a little pop of color on these pages and am so happy to have noted the lesson from the scriptures in the margin . . . even if the rest of the page is a little darker than I had planned!
