Happy Sunday!
I decided to join in on the latest challenge at Flourishes - FTTC157 - make a corner bookmark. I've seen this, but hadn't tried it out yet. I'm glad I did, very easy to make and would make a nice gift!
I would LIKE to make a bunch of these for the ladies at my Bible study, but there are a LOT of ladies! We'll have to see how that goes!
The blue paper is actually darker and more of a navy than the royal blue as it looks here. It looks a lot nicer in real life!
I couldn't decide which picture to show you, so I'm showing you all 3!
I used the tutorial on Split Coast Stampers in the Resource section done by Beate Johns, you can find it here.
I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and tried something a little different. I did a base of white pencil on the flower before adding the blue. I'm not sure I like it, it changes the color too much from what I wanted. I checked out pictures of real pansies online and found gorgeous one that was mostly white with dark blue highlights on the base and tip of the petals. This definitely isn't how it came out, but I'll try it again in the future. I also noticed in the real pictures that the "fifth" petal underneath was usually a solid darker color, which I tried to do here. I'm just a little detailed, LOL!
The ingredients used:
Stamps: A Year in Flowers 1 (Flourishes)
Paper: White (PTI), Typhon (Bazzills), Watercolor Bouquet (K&Co).
Ink: Black Onyx (Versafine)
Accessories: Fleur de Lis Squares, Classic Petal Edgeabilities (Spellbinders), ribbon (Micheals), adhesive pearls (Michaels & Want2Scrap), Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits.
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
Blessings!
