Star Bracelet and Earrings Set

Ever since I watched the famous Korean soap opera - You Who Came From The Stars, I was thinking about to make a star bracelet. After I searched, I found the cutest light blue star beads, and here are the star bracelet and earrings set I made:


Below is a closer look of the star bracelet:


I added the 8mm Swarovski round crystals with bead caps and 4mm Swarovski bicones and pearls to match these star beads. Below is another look of the bracelet:


I also found a perfect silver star shaped toggle to match the bracelet. Below is the close look of the earrings:


This star bracelet and earring set shall be a perfect match with blue jeans.

Hero Arts Holiday Challenge - White Out

Hero Arts has a Holiday Challenge with four different categories to enter. Below is the challenge photo:



I decide to pick the "White Out" category and make a Christmas card with the new stamp set "Christmas Crystals" I just got. Here is the card I made:



For the white background, I used Hero Arts background stamp and white embossed on the white cardstock. Then, I applied the matching Sizzix embossing folder to make the white embossed stamp image popping out. I used a circle die and cut a circle on the background. For the crystal ornament, I white embossed it on the watercolor paper, then colored with water brush and Distress ink pads. After the ink dry, I colored the whole crystal ornament with the Wink of Stella pen to make it shinny. Then, I cut out the crystal ornament and attached in the middle of the circle, I also cut a small piece of gold thread to "hang" the ornament. I put foam tapes on the back of the background and attached on top of the crystal ornament. For the greeting of "JOY", I white embossed the wood veneer letters and glued on the background. Below is a closer look of the "JOY":



Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI, watercolor paper
Stamps: Hero Arts
Ink Pads: Versamark, Distress ink pads
Others: embossing folder, white embossing powder, wood veneer, Wink of Stella pen, foam tapes, circle die, gold thread

The first two weeks of the classes are fabulous - the content includes all aspects of Copic markers. All of the tricks and techniques can be learned from this class.
