As a parent and Children’s Ministry worker, I seek advice from the best parenting book there is…The Bible:) Deuteronomy 6 is full of encouragement and wisdom…This was the inspiration for this mini canvas.
I started with a plain mini canvas sold in a pack of 6 at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
I used modeling paste and a stencil to create the “diamond” background.
Next, I added color with both Distress Paint (“peeled paint”) & a similar shade in a Pan Pastel…finished with Distress ink pad in walnut stain.
I used the same walnut stain to color the mini clothes pins.
I cut the charm background out of a vintage Bible Story Book for Children, sealed with Glossy Accents by Ranger.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love theLord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
