The second design is made by a little house stamp from Mary Engelbreit, and I colored it with Copic markers and cut it out. The bible verses stamp is from Spellbinders. The background was made with watercolor wash.

The third design is made by Mommy Lhey Designs stamps. Both calendars are heat embossed and colored with ZIG Clean Color Real Brushes.

The forth design is made with kraft cardstock. The flower stamps are from Rubbernecker Stamps. The bible verses are from Papertrey Inc. I stamped the flower in white pigment ink on the kraft cardstock and colored with Prismacolor color pencils.

The last design is made with stencils from Simon Says Stamps and colored with Distress Oxide inks. The bible verses stamp is from Penny Black stamps.
