Neat & Tangled Release - Sunday School Songs



Hey everyone!  I'm so excited to share today's release with you as it's one of the ones I designed.



I wanted to share a different way to use the sets today, so I created some bookmarks.  These would be great little gifts for kids in a Sunday School or VBS class, and they are quick and easy to put together.



This first one was really simple, I just colored two shades of distress markers onto an acrylic block, spritzed and placed the top edge of my bookmark onto the block.  This was repeated at the bottom, and once dry, the sentiment was stamped.



For this one I used the coordinating heart stamp to create the background.  I spritzed a block which plain water and added just a tiny bit of pink distress ink so I could see the outline of the heart when I stamped it.  The distress ink pad was pressed onto a separate acrylic block, and using that ink and a waterbrush, with the stamped water hearts as a guide, I colored the hearts in with the distress ink.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment and added a little color with distress markers.



Finally, my favorite.  The earth stamp was colored with a green distress marker and stamped onto the bookmark.  Using a waterbrush I added blue distress ink to create the ocean, and also added a bit of texture/filled in the land portions as needed.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment and added color to the open letters.

I created some twine pom poms as accents.  I think if I make these again I'll use yarn as the twine pom poms aren't as full as I'd like.

Please head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to check out all the projects over there.  Plus, Danielle is giving away a set.

  24. So sorry I was out of Internet range last week and missed this release, especially as it includes two new sets by YOU! Such a talented lady... This set is really fun, unique and sweet as well. The "joy, joy, joy" one is my fave. I love the little bookmarks you've made to showcase the sentiments.
    I think that Clouds set is going to have to go on my wish-list for next month's crafting allowance. Its awesome as well. Love the textured clouds.
