Water Coloured Bookmarks

Hi there,

Continuing with my obsession with watercolours, here is a couple of bookmark i made. When ever i try out something new, in ends up as a card or bookmark. Same here, i have tried some bg colouring too.

The images are stamped directly on the water colour sheet and coloured with Distress inks. For the 1st bookmark with blue flowers, I stenciled with gesso to give some texture. Slightly coloured the gesso with vintage photo.

For the second one, it was stamped by my daughter. We have used Neon cubes for this bookmark. And again through chevron stencil, i loosely water coloured it. (learning on the go)

So thats it, some pretty water coloured bookmards. All stamps & sentiments are from mudra craft stamps. Loving it. 

Thanks for dropping by

A Book themed Explosion box

Hi there...

This time i got a different request for an explosion box for a friend who is crazy about books. And here is what i came up with.

I had a couple of ideas for the centre but this is what i liked the best- a stack of books with a cup of coffee on it. looks good right? For the books i used the styrofoam that comes as a  packing material- it was white, layered, holded firm and perfect for this. The cup is a 3D quilled one.

The layout

Loved the colour combo too, both bold colours. Coordinating colours for each panel is what takes a long time. Once the base work is done, then u finish it in a jiffy.

Another View

Below is the some of the different panels. The centre pic has too bookmarks. Since it was book themed, i decided to go with a couple of bookmarks. The first one is actually a magnetic bookmark and the second is a book corner. So basically a gift inside a gift :)

So how do u think this is people. I sure had fun doing something different. 

And thanks for stopping by my blog. Dont forget to enter ur names for the giveaway. Its open till sep 10th. Try ur luck.

See u soon again
