Hello everyone,
I am a member of the Design Team from Splashy Mix Challenge.
I am excited to share my "Garden of Faith" Journal as a DT.
It's a while since I did some Mixed media and this was awesome to get messy again
with some Mixed media products.
I have collected through the year a lot of stuff.
Some of my Chippies or products are from my stash and I can not remember from whom
they are but I will list the products below.
Every year I ask my Facebook friends and family to leave me a word
started with the First letter of their name.
I create something for everyone with a Bible verse and placed it in a file.
This year I decided to create a Garden of Faith Journal and everything will go in this Journal.
Hope you will join us in the fun and we are looking forward to seeing your creations.

The next day - Let the fun begin
I used Acrylic paint - Burnt Umber
Golden Medium Acrylic Glazing Liquid
Mix them together and paint the whole front cover
After applying one layer wait a few minutes and wipe everything
of with Wet wipes, until you are satisfied with the color.
I normally do a second layer of the same color.
After you wipe it off and it is dry enough for another color.
You can start with another color.
The second color is Magenta
Mixed again your Acrylic paint and Golden Glazing
then paint where you like to have the color.
