I've been enjoying the SaltFaith Challenge blog for several months, and I'm excited to finally have an opportunity to participate, now that I've started my "creativity" blog. At Salt, every two weeks they issue a challenge to make some paper art using a particular prompt about God or Christianity. I'm planning on doing all my Salt challenges on 4X4 pages, so I can make a chunky book. I'll probably bind the book with metal rings, so I can easily add more pages.
For Rejoice, I wanted something glimmery and colorful to go with the verse I chose. I imagine that God's glory must be pretty sparkly! I painted my background with silver Pearl-X watercolor paint. I've been experimenting with Angelina (which I now love), so I put a small piece of that on top. The verse is handwritten, and I finished the page off with a strip of gold German scrap paper. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do justice to the shimmery, sparkly look of the page.

Glad that you're now able to join in and share your crafting as part of the Salt challenge - thanks for joining in.
Thank you for joining in, love the shimmery take on the theme!
I'm sure it looks really sparkly in real life, what a great way to show the subject of rejoice, to make a word and expression into something tactile and visual! Great to have you joining in with the challenge!
Lovely work, really like the shimmer, and great idea to add to a chunky book! Thanks so much for your contribution to the SALT blog, it's a real blessing!
I love using angelina. I'm sure the page is even more beautiful when you can see the shimmer. I'm so glad you have found the blog and look forward to seeing your book develop
Thanks for coming to visit, and leaving a comment. I've also got some angelina - will have to play again with that. I've never used it on my cards, but quilted into it on top of fabric. I bet it looks stunning here. The book will be amazing when you've finished - a celebration of your faith.
