I made a bookmark for the LCD/CV challenge,theme is children.

Hi , Riet here with a little tutorial for this bookmark.

I used:

The name of the girl stamp is bubbles,

The black dots and round cirkels are from the brush strokes sheet.

The words behind the girl are from the pieces of calligraphy.

The butterflys are from the butterfly set.

The word "Dream"is from the set, Misc words.

All the coloring is done with Inktense pencils.

Cadnium yellow 0210

 Tangerine 0300

Lime green 1535

Apple green1400

Malibu 1213

Iron blue 0840

Deep violet  0760

Skin tones:

White gelpen.

Black waterproof inkpad.

Posca white for spletters or

White ink or paint for spletters.

I have to admit that it was actually a art journal page.

In the very last phase I made a big ink stain on the butterflies and the card was ruined.

I had put so much work into it and thought it was a shame to throw it away.

So I cut off the part with the stain and made a bookmark out of it.

In retrospect that was a good decision.

How to make it:

I started by stamping the girl Bubbles.

This stamp has two bubbles above her hands.

I left them off because I wanted her to grab the butterfly.

Stamp the girl on masking tape and mask her off.

Stamp the words and the 3 rings.

Let the text run a little through the rings.

Stamp only the black and white butterfly and mask it off.

Stamp the 3 butterfly's and overlap the cirkels a bit.

Start coloring the background, the cirkels and the little girl.

Stamp with black the black dots from the  brush strokes sheet.

Stamp the 3 butterflys on a thin piece off paper and color them.

Gleu them on the butterfly's and give them what accents with the white gellpen.

Cut off any excess butterflies.

Mask the girl again and spletter with the posca pen (or paint or ink).

Stamp the word "Dream" and give it some white accents.

Remove the masking tape.

Mat with a black cardstock and you ar done.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Maybe you want to join the challenge?

And have a chance to win new rubber stamps.

Stamp something with a child on it or make something for children.

As long as it is stamped and refers to the theme children.

Do your best and see you at the challenge.

Challenge at Lost coast designs,June #168 - Mini Me (smaller than a card) so ATC, Bookmarks, Tags, Inchies, Twinchies,

 For the mini me challenge I made a bookmark.

Something different than a card is always a nice change.

I made a bookmark with a butterfly resting on top of the book.

This is what I used:

LCD Butterflies set

 LCD Large Florisch

Distressink,

Victorian velvet,

Speckled egg,

Bundled sage.

Color pencils in these 3 colors.

Versafine black onyx.

Silver thread.

Posca marker white.

Corner scissors or punch.

White paper 200grams.

Gleu.

How its made:

Cut a piece of paper in this size.

Make spots on the paper with the 3 colors of distress ink.

Stamp the florish with the black versafine.

Color the florish with the colored pencils.

Stamp the largest butterfly of the set twice, with the versafine.

The largest because it was for a very thick book.

If you have a thinner book, take a smaller butterfly.

Color the butterflies with the pencils,

 and give them some accents with the posca marker.

Cut them out.

From the silver wire we make the feelers / antennae of the butterfly.

Take a piece of paper 1cm wide and 10cm long.

Score at 1cm, 5cm, 9cm.

Fold the centerline.

Fold out the 2 score lines as shown in the picture.

Cut a line in the middle of the butterfly that is the same size as the paper.

Put the paper through and glue the flaps to the bottom of the butterfly.

When you've done that it will look like this.

Now take the other butterfly and glue the 

feelers/antennas to the blank side of the butterfly.

Now glue the 2 butterflies together.

There may be an edge sticking out here and there with the butterflies.

Carefully trim that away a bit until they fit together perfectly.

Now take the piece of paper with the florish.

With the corner scissors or punch we cut beautiful corners.

With an ink blender and bundled sage we put the edges on a bit.

Now fold the bookmark with the flap of the butterfly in between.

Check that everything is in the right place.

If that's good, glue it closed.

I hope you find it a nice tutorial and will also make such a nice bookmark.

And don't be shy, feel free to show the result on the facebook group

#126 challenge at Lost Coast Designs, all about CRITTERS

 

Hello stampers and card makers.

Today no extensive tutorial, but a short explanation of the bookmark.

For this bookmark I used the stamps from "Mother Goose, mice" and "Dictionary words".

This bookmark is very easy to make. 

All you need are the LCD stamps and paper, Versamark black and colored pencils or markers. 

I also used a stamp ruler (stamp-a-ma-jig).

 It takes some patience to place the mice neatly on the text. 

But when it's done, it does give a very nice effect. 

Color the mice as you see fit and matte with black cardstock. 

Punch a hole in it and hang a nice tassle on it. 

And you have a nice bookmark. 

Very nice to give as a gift.

And as for the challenge, join the fun. 

It's fun to do and you have a chance to win stamps. 

The more people participate, the bigger the prize. 

You can read all about it here. 

So hop on over and join us. 

You don't even have to use LCD stamps. 

But read the rules first.

Boekenlegger met vlinder.

Deze boekenlegger zit zo in het boek dat de vlinder zo weg kan vliegen.

boekenlegger.

Voor iemand die jarig was heb ik deze boekenlegger gemaakt.

De achtergrond heb ik besprayed met inkt en de stempel met de vrouw is met zwarte embossingpoeder en H2O verf ingekleurd. Verder heb ik meerdere stempels voor de achtergrond gebruikt en schaduw gekleurd.

Vandaag eens geen kaartje maar een boekenlegger.
Gemaakt voor mijn dochter die veel leest en dol op paars is.
Ik heb nieuwe swirl stempels die ik heel mooi vind.
Dus de komende tijd zal ik die wel vaker gebruiken.
Hoop dat jullie het mooi vinden.

Groetjes Riet.
