Our challenge for our November 12th meeting is to create a Flag Book. Then one of our members created a circle one. She gave us a diagram with 32folds which I tried but couldn't get my sections folded equally and got frustrated... So a few days later, mulled it over and decided to try one with less folds and this is the result. I like it but it doesn't have the same interaction I get with the original folding.
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..
