Bible Journaling Foldable Art Embellishments

Hello and welcome to the Unity blog.  It’s Gaylynn.  Today, I am sharing bible journaling foldable art page embellishments made from vellum. This is a way to add artwork over the scripture with a hinge effect. Also, it showcases a folding feature so the page can be read yet still contain pretty decoration. The steps and supplies are noted below.

Additionally, I added Copic marker coloring, stenciling and colored pencils for the existing bible page art.

Helpful Tips:

1. Find the bible page fitting for your stamps or art.

2. Stamp the focal point onto heavy vellum cardstock with permanent all-surface ink like StazOn and dry completely. Optional, use your existing art or decoration.

3. Color the opposite side of the vellum stamping. I used Copic markers. (The stamped side of the vellum will look softer than the colored side.)

4. Trim the art down to the size of the image and/or sentiment.

5. Score a 1/4″ fold line on the edge of the art that corresponds to the side of the page where you want the art to be located. (Fold the art back and forth along the score line.)

6. Repeat for the sentiment.

7. Stencil a sun ray onto each art page using distress oxide ink blending in two colors.

8. Use colored pencils to color in any existing bible page art.

9. Add extra tacky double-sided tape along the scored edge of each art piece.

10. Finally, carefully position and adhere your art to the bible pages, allowing one end to fold back and forth.

Here are more pictures of the bible journaling foldable art.  First, here is a look at the left page.

Secondly, this is a close look at the vellum cross.

Finally, this is the other page with the sentiment as the focal point.

Scripture:
The light shines in the darkness
and the darkness did not overcome it.
John 1:5
