My Prayer Tags

My Colorful Prayers

I've enjoyed looking back at some of my favorite prayer resources these past weeks. Today I want to give you a look at the tags I use for my prayers these days.

I started this art session with some blank tags and a few I'd gelli printed.

Then on a blank tag I added some gelatos and smudged with a baby wipe.

         

 

 I stamped text. And sprayed with Dylusions.

                                             

I did the same in purple.

The stamp is from the Java Spills collection.

I added some paper embellishments, Tim Holtz letters and metal numbers. Then I edged with Distress Ink. 

 I love to add drywall tape at the end for texture.

The true key to all this is that I'm praying for the subject (in this case: this blog and all who read it – including YOU!) all the while I'm working on the tag. Otherwise, it's just an art project. But I look at the tag now, and I think back to that arting prayer that day. And I bring it back to God's mind as well.

 

I keep the tags on a ring that I pray through during my quiet time.

Next week we'll hear from my friend Diane Marra about her prayer cards.



Prayer: Father, I lift up this blog and those who read it. May we always be aware of Your great love for us. And may we crave time with You each day.
