You're probably familiar with these words from Song of Solomon 2:4. Maybe you even have a song from Sunday School playing in your head right now. I do! :) Here is a cute little banner you can draw to go along with it!
Materials:
I'm using a Micron Pen and a Faber Castell PITT artist pen big brush, both in black. I'm also using Tanmit brush markers for coloring.
To learn more about these and other items, read my post about Bible Journaling Supplies.
1. Banner
First, we'll draw the banner. Using the big brush marker, draw dashed lines in a curve. Next add sides to begin forming your flags. Then draw an upside down V shape to connect the two sides of each flag. Draw a dot in each of the top corners of the flags. Then using the smaller Micron pen, connect each flag.
2. Flags
Decorate your flags by adding polka dots, stripes, chevrons, etc. I also added a heart to the center flag.
3. Color your flags.
Be careful not to get too close to the black outlines as they may smudge.
4. Shadow
Add a shadow to your banner. Use a light gray marker to draw a shadow beneath the "string" of your banner. Then draw a shadow to the right of each flag and below each flag as shown. I drew my shadow a little too far away, so I went back and connected it to the "string" of the banner. Then I outlined the heart with my PITT brush to make it stand out more.
5. Background Color
Color a background for your words. I tried to create a gradient using pink and peach. If you're coloring in your Bible, this would go in your margin.
6. Draw your words.
Using the Micron pen, draw the word "His". Then go back and add round dots to the ends of each letter. Next, using your cursive handwriting draw the word "banner". Go back and add thicker lines to each downstroke. To learn more about Handwriting Tips & Tricks, read my post. Repeat this process for the rest of the words as shown. If you've never done this, you can practice on a separate piece of paper before writing in your Bible.
And there you have it! An easy banner to accent your next Bible Journaling project. Have you tried making a banner? Comment below or show off your doodles by connecting with Bible Journaling Ideas on Facebook.
