Custom Scripture Print: Your Favorite Bible Verse with a Watercolor Scene

Send us a verse reference and we set that passage in the King James Version on a warm cream page under a soft watercolor scene. You choose the scene: a mountain lake in sage, sand and dusty blue, or a wildflower meadow in sage and dusty rose. The reference goes on top in spaced capitals and the verse below in a small italic serif. Your personalized files arrive within 24 hours as four print ratios and a PDF.

Choosing the verse

Any book, chapter and verse can go on this print, so the first decision is yours. Good choices are often tied to a moment, such as the reading from a wedding or a verse a family held on to through a hard year. For a new home, Joshua 24:15 or Psalm 127:1 fit well, and for an anniversary, Ruth 1:16 or Song of Solomon 8:7. The shop sets the text in the King James Version, so a verse you know from another translation may read differently. Psalm 91:1, for example, begins "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High." Shorter passages keep the type larger under the picture. If you are unsure how a longer passage will look, ask for a preview before the final files are sent.

Two watercolor scenes on warm cream

At the top of the page, the reference, such as PSALM 91, is set in widely spaced serif capitals. Below it sits the watercolor scene, cut into a soft arch, and under the scene the verse runs in centered lines of a small italic serif, Cormorant Garamond, with a short KJV caption beneath. The Mountains and Lake scene layers misty ridges in sage, sand, ochre and grey above still water that mirrors them. This is the version shown in the listing photos. The Wildflowers Meadow version uses the same cream background and type with a sage and dusty rose scene, for a warmer and more romantic mood. The margins are wide on every side, so the print sits well in a natural wood, white or black frame.

Who the custom print is for

The listing has four uses in mind. For newlyweds or an anniversary, the couple's wedding verse becomes a print for their bedroom or living room. As a wedding guest book alternative, the print can be framed with a wide white mat for guests to sign around the verse at the reception, and the couple hang it at home afterward. For a pastor's appreciation day or an ordination, a verse from a favorite sermon or from the ordination service makes a personal thank you from a church family. For a housewarming, a home blessing verse can be printed and framed before the move.

Ordering, delivery and print sizes

Add the details in the personalization field at checkout: the verse reference and your style, Mountains and Lake or Wildflowers Meadow. Your custom files follow within 24 hours of receiving those details, as four high resolution JPEG files in 2:3, 3:4, 4:5 and 11:14 plus one combined PDF. They hold 300 DPI up to 16x20 and 18x24 and at least 200 DPI at poster sizes such as 24x36 and 22x28. If you want to see the layout first, ask for a preview before the final files are sent. Matte or fine art paper suits the watercolor best, and the listing advises against gloss. Nothing is shipped, and no frame is included.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to send with my order?

Add the details in the personalization field at checkout: the Bible reference, for example Psalm 91:1-2 or John 3:16, and the style you want, Mountains and Lake or Wildflowers Meadow. If you have a question about a long passage or a special request, email support@theframedverse.com after your order and mention your order details.

Which Bible translation will you use?

The verse is set in the King James Version, with a small KJV caption under the text. If you know your verse from a newer translation, the wording may differ. Philippians 4:13, for instance, reads "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Look the reference up in the KJV before ordering if you want to be sure of the wording.

How long does it take to receive my files?

The personalized files are sent within 24 hours of receiving your verse reference and style choice. If details are missing, the 24 hours start when they arrive, so filling in the personalization field at checkout is the fastest route. Once the files are with you, you can print them right away at home or at a print shop.

Can I see a preview before the final files?

Yes. Ask for a preview in the personalization field or by email to support@theframedverse.com after checkout, and you will see the layout with your verse before the final high resolution files are sent. A preview is most useful for a long passage, or when the print is a gift for a set date and you want to check it early.

Can names or a wedding date be added?

The layout holds a reference title, the watercolor scene and your verse, with no separate line for names. For a print with two first names and a wedding date, the shop has personalized wedding designs, such as Genesis 2:24 and the Cord of Three Strands with names and date. Both take their details through the personalization field in the same way.
