-BACKGROUND COLOR: if you have a unique preference to color in mind other than common colors (what i consider common: black, white, mustard yellow, beige, maroon, navy, etc.) & prefer something specific (wedding colors, specific shades, vague, subjective colors such as mauve, taupe, teal, salmon, dark or light version of any color, etc…) please just google the name of the color you want & screenshot a swatch of the EXACT color you want, & i’d be happy to handcraft a mixed blend of colors to create your custom shade. same goes for specific flower colors, etc.)
- FRONT + BACK TEXT:
choose between: two verses, one verse split into two or any song lyrics/quote you would like for the front and back. you can choose to write the verse out completely or the reference + version you’d like it in (ex: john 3:16 nkjv) otherwise, just include the reference & i’ll pick the version i like best or the one that works best with the design& space available.
(i always suggest 10 words or less is best)
(if no verse is provided, the verses in the FIRST example photo or a verse/lyric i choose will be written by default on the cover)
you can also request that i pick the verse for you & tell me a bit about what you are looking for (example: verses about being joyful, verses about comfort, song lyrics about trusting GOD through scary circumstances, etc.)
text color will only be white, gold or black. if not specified, i will surprise you with text color based on my discretion in what will work best for your design.
- SPINE TEXT:
spine will read “The Holy Bible" or "The Word of God” unless otherwise specified.
(give me a name, word or any other ideas you are considering (if any)

the inside cover reads… “This Bible Belongs To:"

(unless you prefer i leave it blank)
-ANY OTHER DETAILS:
please include any other specifics you would like.
examples: flower types, colors you’d like added, any additions (little boho rainbow, a butterfly, music note, etc. i can add anything you’d like to give it a personal touch! no extra charge!)
our LORD is personal & specific.
i want this Bible to be a constant reminder for you that & "HE is able to do far above all that we can think or imagine.”

still don’t see what you’re looking for?
don’t worry, i have other options!
-CUSTOM BIBLE: hoping for a scenery portrait of a special place? (i can replicate photographs!) or another unique idea? order from the “CUSTOM BIBLE” listing & i can custom design one for you! i love details, but i can get creative with as little details as possible & create something you will love for years to come! (example: i like the neutral colors, boho style, love any verse in psalm 84 & succulents) still, follow the order instructions, using my format from a few slides back for the note to seller you'll be leaving me & just describe the design you'd like in the "design" space. unfortunately, you cannot attach photos in the note to seller section, but you can make reference to them & just message them to me via messages once youve placed your order!
-“SURPRISE ME” BIBLE: YOU trusting ME to design your Bible start to finish! i pick the design, i pick the version, i pick the verse & you get a surprise! including but not limited to: designs i have already tried & have available in my shop, designs i have not yet tried, designs i already have in my shop but with varying verses & colors, super crazy designs that i have floating around in my mind!! as much as i LOVE seeing your ideas come to life, i love experimenting with new designs & techniques. there is nothing quite like an order where someone says "surprise me" giving me the freedom to explore color schemes, use different brushes, try out unique textures, patterns or take a chance to try different nature scenes. each time i branch out, i grow! but most importantly, most of these "artistic freedom" orders are how each of my themed Bibles were born. this means more names, more life stories bringing glory to our God! if you order this Bible, you are giving me 100% artistic freedom from start to finish, designing this for you!! so no questions or requests please. if you want to customize your Bible, i have so many awesome options in my shop to accommodate your beautiful requests that i love to receive & see come to life! but this one's for those who trust me to design for them!
IF you have a specific translation you prefer, add the "alternative translation" listing to your order & tell me what version you'd like!
allll the bells & whistles
order time!
please have all your wonderful specifications organized into ONE message using the format template above before placing the order so you can transfer it into the "note to seller" section before checking out & paying! this ensures that none of your specifications are missed, forgotten or overlooked. i am not liable for details missed that you forgot to mention in the note to seller section before you check out :) between facebook, instagram comments and DMs, etsy messages, texts, in person exchanges and more.... it is very easy for me to forget what you told me way up in our personal messages if it is not in the note to seller section which will be attached to your order & which i refer to dozens of times while painting your Bible. your messages are not attached to your order & sometimes, etsy even automatically deletes them from my inbox to clear up space for more customers who have messaged me after you! moral of the story, don't press "confirm order" until you KNOW what you want & won't be making any more changes :) i am a very detail oriented, organized person & to keep the quality of my work and customer service where it is, i like to have all your info in one spot so that i'm able to best assist you in creating something unique, personal & that you will love for years to come! thank you so much for understanding!
i ask that after placing your order that no changes be made!
thank you for understanding that once the design & painting process has begun, i cannot go back and make changes & it is more likely that your specifications could be lost or overlooked if not all in one place, the note to seller section.
i will let you know when your Bible is on its way to you!
processing time is up to 28 business days (5-6 weeks, not including bank holidays) but can be there within a week for $50 extra. simply purchase the “HURRY MY BIBLE” listing!
after your order
all Sparrows & Wildflowers Bibles are painted upon order. because each item is custom and made to order, no returns of refunds will be accepted unless there is an error on my end (as with any handmade items, this has happened a handful of times!) IF an error is to occur such as a typo, different verse than you requested or omission of one of your specific requests, please communicate with me & i will be HAPPY to provide you with the means to ship it back to me so I can fix it!
florals/backdrops will vary slightly in color from the listing photos as they are blended while wet & filters are at times added for aesthetic purposes. Also due to certain lighting/phone/computer screens, we may be seeing colors uniquely different.
No two bibles are ever exactly the same, yours will be unique and totally YOU!
if an item is promised by a certain date, & does not arrive by that date due to an error at the post office Sparrows & Wildflowers cannot be held liable. shipping is unfortunately out of my hands as soon as i bring it to the post office, although i wish i could hand deliver each one! i provide tracking on all of my items for that reason.
the processing time for your order does not include weekends or holidays, it also doesn’t include shipping time once your order is in the mail.
also, with tracking… the post office sometimes does not scan the packages along the way. don’t be alarmed if it looks like your package hasn’t moved since its shipping day, as that is very common. i am a one woman show working around the clock to get orders out in a timely manner. these Bibles are in high demand so i really appreciate your patience and understanding with all these shipping announcements :)
