Bookmark for Stampin For The Weekend.

Hi everyone, it’s time for a new challenge over at Stampin For The Weekend!

The theme for this fortnight’s challenge is:

Pearls and Swirls 

We are being sponsored by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.

I decided to make a bookmark for my mother as well as one for myself:

This is the one I made for my mother.

With a pretty Whiff Of Joy image.

My mother and I are doing a Bible study together by Hello Mornings (read more here) and this is the list of things to read each week.

This is the one I made for myself.

Hope you like them, they work lovely!

Please hop over to Stampin For The Weekend and see if you can take part.

Have a blessed weekend

Bookmark for My Mother’s Birthday

Hey everyone, I’m here with another creation. As I promised here are some pictures of the bookmark I made for my mother for her birthday.

I sometimes find it hard to make a creation without someone giving me an idea or two or just being by my side for moral support, like my mother always do. But I think I managed to do this one pretty well without her.

I used an image that a dear friend of mine sent me only a little while ago.

I colored her with the following Copics:

E37, E35, E33 and E53 - for her hair, the basket and her shoes.

E00, E21 and R20 - for her skin

RV34, RV32 and RV0 - for her dress and the flowers on her hat and in the basket.

RV13, RV11 and RV10 - for the lighter spots on the dress and the rabbit’s ears and tummy.

B05, B02 and B000 - for her hat, the bow in her hair and her socks.

Y15, Y11 and Y00 - for the rabbit

W3 -  around the stamp for a shadow

I also added three different sizes pink gems in the top left and bottom right corner.

This is the back of the bookmark. I typed a little a poem for mothers and then wrote all our children’s names. I have also stuck three pink gems in the bottom right corner.

I made a little hole in the paper and made a knot with a pretty sparkly ribbon in the top of the book mark.

So I hope you like my book mark!

Tea Time - Book Mark

Hello everyone, I know I have not been posting for a while!

But some of the things I’m making at the moment is for my mother’s Birthday (22 Feb) and I can’t post that or else my mother will see it!

But here is a bookmark I made for myself!!

First time I’m making something for myself

I like it because it’s different from a normal bookmark.

It fits over the corner of your book. You can go and look at the tutorial on how to make one here.

This is how you put it in your book. It fits over the corner of the page!

This is what the back of the page looks like when you turn the page over.

I used an old digi stamp and colored it with my Copics........ Yes I said Copics!

My brand new Copics that I bought from a friend, here in South Africa! 

This is my first creation with them!! So here is the colors I used:

E37, E35, E33 and E53 - for the mouse’s skin and the chair.

RV34, RV32, RV00 - for the top part of the Mouse’s dress and the bottom part of the cupcake.

RV13, RV11 and RV10 - for the mouse’s dress, tee cup, tee pot, flower and the snail’s back.

Y00 - for the flower pot.

B000 - for the water in the flower pot.

E00, E21, R20 - for the snail’s skin

G17, G14 and G12 - for the table cloth and flower leaves.

W3 - for the shadow around the image.

I used my heart puncher to make a pretty border at the bottom of my bookmark.

Here is the back of the book mark.

I used some pretty ribbon and lace with a nice sparkly rose paper.

I would also like to enter this book mark into the following challenges:
