Hi there, friends! I have a sweet and simple project to share with you today using the latest ColourQ palette. Aren't these spring colors so pretty together?
I recently ordered some Pure Innocence images from My Favorite Things, and the first thing I wanted to do was make a bookmark for my 6 year old daughter, who is an avid reader. She's in the middle of several chapter books and is always looking for colorful scraps to use as bookmarks.
I just love the pigtails on this little girl! I paper pieced her outfit with designer papers from Stampin' Up!'s In Color collection and colored her skin and hair with Prisma pencils. I added a fringed strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock for the "grass" and some paper strips at the top, then punched a hole to add a loop of So Saffron ribbon. I added my own sentiment with a Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write marker.
The back of the bookmark needed some love, too, so I covered it with patterned paper and stamped my daughter's name with alphabet stamps.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron), Papertrey Ink (White)
Patterned paper: Stampin' Up! (2010 In Color Designer Series Paper)
Stamp: My Favorite Things (Pure Innocence Being Cute is What I Do)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Chocolate Chip)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (polka dot impression plate), corner rounder, hole punch
Accessories: Stampin' Up! (So Saffron ribbon)
Coloring medium: Prismacolor Premier pencils
I have a busy week, so I haven't been around making as many comments, but I'm looking forward to a long Easter weekend. Hope your week is going well so far!
Thanks for stopping by today!
