As you visit each blog you will be given a letter eg. D. When you have collected all the letters they will make a word. When you have worked out the word email Bernice with the word. We will randomly choose 4 people who have the correct answer to win a free stencil of their choice. All entries must arrive by Noon (Pacific time) on Tuesday 23rd June.

The letter to collect from my blog is E.

I used the digital version of Praise the Lord.   The mask from the Praise the Lord stencil & masks set will also work for this technique.

I downloaded it and printed it onto copy paper and then cut out the image.

In my journal I took my pen for a walk - that's right just like when we were kids!  Then I painted one colour of paint in various places.  You could if you wanted to doodle in the shapes before you add the paint.

I used Dylusions Acrylic Paint.  You could use any acrylic paint or use inks.   I added a second colour and then a third one.

And then some pink and some turquoise.  By doing one colour at a time they had time to dry so I didn't get mud when I painted colours next to each other.

I placed my cut out image (or you can use the mask if you have it) and held it down.

I brushed black paint from the paper image onto my journal page.  By brushing the paint from the image it ensured that the paper didn't move.

I peeled off the painted paper and turned it over and pressed it onto the other page.

At this point I could have taken a wet wipe and pull the black paint across the page so that some of the coloured background still showed.  But I decided to paint the whole thing black.

I used a white Signo pen and a Dylusions Journal Block to draw wavy lines around the page to make a border.

I drew lines inside the wavy lines.  They probably need to be gone over again!  Then I drew some more wavy lines with the Journal block and wrote out Psalm 100:4.   I used some Screen Painting paint that comes in a tube to put dots between the words.  I could have used Stickles instead.
I could doodle on the figure with a black pen or add doodles to the border at a later time.


We hope you are as excited as we are about this new product line from His Kingdom Come, an online creative community, a place where you can find encouragement, share your heart and receive prayer and inspiration!

  6. OMGosh, I love this technique! Thank you so much for sharing your process. I didn't realize the masks were available in digital form. That may be an option for me until I can manage to get the physical stencil/mask set.
    Blessing hugs,
