Bible Journaling - Leviticus 16 & 17

I love chapter 16 in Leviticus. It is a chapter that deals with the annual sacrificial lamb. It is the only day in the year when the high priest was allowed to enter the Most Holy place in the temple and to make atonement for the sins of the people. The chapter also tells us that there was a second goat, which were to carry the sins of the people into the desert. The next chapter then deals with the sanctity of blood in which is life, and says that we are forbidden to eat blood. These chapters, especially the first, is a foreshadowing of Christ and the sacrifice He would become for our sins. I opted to use my Go Cut & Emboss machine to cut some die-cuts to journal these pages with. I used a silver cardboard as well as wood-grain one. My elements deal with love (hearts), the aspect of time (annually), the inclusiveness of forgiveness (globe), and the foreshadowing of Christ (cross).

The two chapters look like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I prep the pages with Dala Clear Acrylic Gesso.

My pages look like this once the acrylic is dry.

I use a green fountain pen to underline some key verses in the chapter.

I will be using Tim Holtz Distress Ink to colour the background of the pages.

I simply stamp the two pages with the ink pads.

My pages now look like this.

I pull some dies out from my stash that I might be using. The dies are by X-Cut, Kaizer Craft and Couture Creations.

I find a roll of wood grain paper to cut the cross from.

I put it through my Go Cut & Emboss machine.

I looks like this in between the cutting plates.

I lay the rest of my elements on the cutting plates.

I lay a sheet of silver cardboard on top.

I put it through the Go Cut & Emboss machine.

My elements come out looking like this.

I use Dala Craft Glue to fix the elements to the pages of my Bible.

This is what my finished pages look like.
