Watercolour Hope Series - Day 1

 

It seems with events around the world we could use a good infusion of hope.  So, this week I’m going to showcase some of the watercolour wreaths I painted last year that I’ve made into cards, pairing them with some Stamp Simply Scripture stamps.  

Today I’m starting with this pretty olive wreath I painted using Daniel Smith Watercolours paired with the Hope stamp set.  Olive leaves have a beautiful long wispy style and vary from silvery green to lighter green.  


This Scripture passage works so perfectly with the theme of hope and olives - as it’s the crushing of olives that produces the oil.  So even in the midst of suffering or affliction, God can be producing something beautiful, useful, fragrant, and hopeful.  So much beautiful symbolism.  Like many crafters around the globe our prayers are fervant for people in Ukraine. 

Hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for another Watercolour wreath.
