I have recently joined a Bible Journaling group called
Documented Faith.
We have weekly verses that we doodle in our bibles and then share them
with the group! I've been doing all kinds of Art Journlaing over the
past year and have found this group to be lots of fun with great people!
I've created this image set for Proverbs 31:10, "A wife of noble
character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies".
For
this piece I used colored pencils and a couple of Gelly Roll pens. 1st
step was to print the PDF onto regular copy paper. (my printer is
running out of ink!) Then I cut out the piece that fits in the 2"
column of my journaling bible. It doesn't have to be exact just trim
the piece out.
Using some washi tape (cause it's easy to remove) I taped the piece face down to the back of the page.
Since
our bible pages are so thin and transparent, it is easy to see through
the column area. Next step is to trace the image as you wish. I have a
tutorial coming soon on how to transfer the image onto the whole page
with graphite paper.
Here is my traced image. I decided to wait to do the sparkles free-hand.
These are all the pens I used.
- Micron .005
- Signo white gel
- Gelly Roll Gold metallic
- Gelly Roll Red Stardust
- Gell Roll Clear Stardust
- Derwent Watercolor pencil (not using water) - Crimson Lake
- Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencil (not using water) - Violet
I
filled in my words at the top with the Gold metallic pen. After it
completely dried I went back around the edges with my Micron pen. I
also filled in some sparkles and went over those with a Stardust pen.
For the Rubies word I filled it in with my Red Stardust Gelly Roll Pen! Pretty!
And
finally for the pretty Ruby (my own birthstone!) I used the Crimson
Lake pencil and colored it in lightly and then darker on every other
section. Then I went over the whole jewel with my Clear Stardust Gelly
Roll. Then used the Violet pencil to fill in some drop shadow.
I'm pleased with how it turned out. A very simple design.
I hope you will enjoy it too! I would especially love to see how you
