Emeralds, I think are my favorite gem...
Size open: 9"dia including letters
Since we're continuing with our goal to use what we have... I raided my off cut papers... and geli print stuff I made. so this one is made of all scraps.
I cut my circle to 7"dia from heavy weight copy paper, folded in half both ways to get a 90º fold, then measured from 1 point to the next quarter point and divided that into 4 sections and scored through the center point, repeating until all sections were divided. Creased the fold lines. It doesn't show in the image but the sections are slightly raised.
Created the black cut into a partial circle and adhered the 8 sections to every other folded section.
Die cut the letters Sizzix Alterations Bigz XL Word Play Alphabet from a piece of white cardstock I had sprayed with Distress Spritz (Peacock Blue, Worn Lipstick, Weathered Wood & Fossilized Amber), love the shimmer. Final touch added a small punched out heart between the words.
All the other items were cut with various size punches from geli print papers. I added a 3D pearl sticker to each floral center and glitter to the dragonfly wings..
The 1st one I chose was Peppermint. I had this vision of a peppermint candy... Drew my circles, drew in my letters and colored with green watercolor. Added the red little triangles and graphite shading.
For the 2nd one I drew my large central star and then a bunch of smaller stars using a Spellbinders star die set using various green gel pens. Wrote in the word "Star" with a green glitter gel pen. Added the red star with a red glitter gel pen.
This week on Scribbled Lives we need to create a letter only... no text. Since I've done a Celtic "H" & "G" I decided to do a "Y"...
Size: 4"w x 5.5"h
On Paper Reflections black cardstock outlined my Celtic letter with a Sakura white 08 Geli Roll pen.
Gilded the center ovals with Roberson's "red gold"23K gold leaf and the rest with Mona Lisa Red Leaf using a Designa Size Quick Pen gold leaf adhesive.
Colored the knot work with Black Edition colored pencils. Added some holographic gel glitter in the 3 dots.
Honeycomb ornament upper left ( image)
size: approx 2.5"w
Using 65# cardstock (white and a 2 toned pink scrapbook paper).
Cut 10 circles of white and 10 of pink 2.5" dia. I Used a Spellbinder's Nestabilities Standard Circles Large.
Since I used a 2 sided cardstock for one of my 10 circles I alternated the colors when assembling.
Fold all circles in half. Arrange in the order you will be gluing. Glue half of one circle to the half of the next circle. Repeat till all are glued together.
Now is the tricky part...
Alternate gluing a small line on the top of one folded half, press together to adhere then on the next section glue at the bottom folded half. Alternate gluing at the top of one and then the bottom of the next to get the honeycomb look.
String a thread through the center adding beads or knots to prevent string from slipping out. Adhere with a glue gun.
On Genoa Bond paper created my circle (6"dia) sections (9 of them). Created one of the sections, traced and cut out a template to create the other 9... didn't space one of them properly so have a larger space between 1 section and a smaller one between another section - c'est la vie... Love the way it turned out.
Used a Zig Writer to outline the design, colored with a Prisma yellow #915 and an aqua #920 and blended with a Lyra Splender Blender. When done I said it need some contrast so added the black with the Zig. Then I wanted some glitz... so added green glitter.
