I found this very helpful, especially the tip about letting each layer dry before adding the next.

Just practiced this on some mixed media paper. Turned out great and next I'm going all out in my bible. Thanks for this tutorial.

How do I start watering coloring your drawings are so beautiful sending you lots of love and hugs ❤

[@DoodlingFaith]

Hey ☺️ Great video I’m so gonna try this!

[@annforsman]

Interesting how you made the trees. Love this page. tfs

[@tahjnemilford]

This is so very beautiful. I actually tried it and it is definitely not as simple as you make it appear😊 . However, I enjoyed spending time just being in the presence of the Lord. I want to encourage persons out there who are not as artistic and creative to go ahead and just enjoy the time set aside with the Lord. It is a wonderful and very relaxing time. It was like being with a best friend when there is no need for conversation.

Very beautiful!

Very pretty

i did not think i could gent any godly stuff like dies and stamps but i have found that ali express has got lots of it so i am very happy . i have now bought some so happy

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Wonderful tips.....and now I need to get brave enough to try watercoloring in my Bible. I did purchase gesso recently and tried it on newspaper to practice but it did wrinkle so I"m little wary. Like you said, it is just to magnify God's word and it doesn't have to be perfect....however I have OCD and that can get in the way of enjoying that time focusing on the verse when I'm worried about it bleeding through or wrinkling....so I need to work on that :) Hugs & Blessings....Janie

Hi Jenna, this is the only video I have found. Are you going to make more? And if so, can you show how to make those cute large flowers you made on your IG? Thanks and have a blessed day!

[@ScribblingGrace]

Hi! Yes I plan on doing many more tutorials, and those large flowers will be next!

[@katherinesimonds622]

I just love your channel. I hope you come back to it soon !

[@ScribblingGrace]

Pure Grace thank you! I do post new tutorials pretty much every Saturday :)

[@katherinesimonds622]

@@ScribblingGrace great to know. Somehow I am missing them

[@annforsman]

Did you ever try to iron the page after it is finished? I haven't gotten my bible yet, but am watching all your videos so I know how to start. tfs

[@ScribblingGrace]

I ironed my page once when I first started, but I found the pages flatten out on their own after a couple weeks closed in the Bible :) Glad you like the videos!

[@GretchenHulett]

My pages are very thin. I might have to try prepping.

[@olderthandadirt]

How did that work? Can you still read the page after prepping?

[@dianamolinaro4951]

Oh my ,im binge watching today .You almost have me convinced i can do it ..im 59 so i have nothing to do but pratice lol .what type and size of brushes do you recommend? Also i can pratice on water color paper right ? Your very sweet and very talented im so enjoying Thank You

[@ScribblingGrace]

Yes, you can absolutely practice on watercolor paper! I recommend having a size 8 and a size 12 round brush. Those are the two I use most often, and I just buy cheap ones from the craft store.

[@beekayford]

Do you like the inter-leaved Bible better than working in the margins?

[@ScribblingGrace]

I gotta say I like both types of journaling bibles the same. I like having the freedom of a full blank page, but it can sometimes feel intimidating trying to fill the whole page as well. :)

[@beekayford]

Thanks! I have three journaling Bibles with wide margins, and I just got the interleaved Bible. I have four grandchildren, so these will be passed down. I think I will use the interleaved for more mixed media type pages. In the other Bibles, I always use transparent medium so the words show through. This new one will give me more flexibility that I'd like for creating sometimes.

[@joannwilson3300]

What paints do you recommend?

[@ScribblingGrace]

I love my kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I have a list of all my favorite supplies at www.scribblinggrace.com/supplies/

[@olderthandadirt]

You paint watercolour right in your Bible?? Wow!! you must have a lot more faith in your ability than I do. I would be afraid I would paint a cross-eyed Jesus, and then when I die and see Him that is how He'd look just to mess with me!

Beautiful!
