Feeling pink! This is a color I hardly go for most of the time but kind of like when I do. I'm not the most girly person and most of the time I am dressed in black sweaters and jeans due to the nature of my day job, but once in a while the girly in me sneaks out and this is the result.
Materials:
- Cardstock bookmark
- Tim Holtz Die cut dress form
- Cosmo Cricket Tiny Words
- Heart shape cookie cutter
- Tim Holtz paper washi tape
- Dry wall tape
- Tim Holtz Layering Chevron Stensil and Eye Chart Stencil
- Dylusions: "Around the edges" stamp set
- FolkArt HD Paints: Licorice, magenta
- Neocolor II Pink
- Gesso and ModPodge
- Cover the bookmark with gesso.
- Glued about half of the dress form and trimmed the rest.
- Layered the washi tape, and dry wall tape to the right of the dress from to add texture.
- Covered the dress form with paper washi tape to add interest and colored using a Neocolor crayon in a magenta color. Used water to dilute the color to a more pink hue.
- With Magenta acrylic paint I stenciled the chevron pattern.
- Light inked leaves from Dylusions "around the edges" stamp set to add more textured to the background.
- With the cookie cutter I traced the hearts with a black acrylic and the Neocolor Black crayon I colored the inside of the hearts added shadows around the dress form. These Neocolor crayons are water soluble so they are not entirely opaque.
- With Cosmo Cricket tiny words stickes I created the sentiment then use the Uni-ball Vision pen to trace around the words and around the dress form to add make them stand out.
- Cover the entire bookmark with Golden Semi gloss medium and Voila!
Step 1-3 Step 4-7
This bookmark is part of a set of three I am creating, using dresses and the dress form. Very feminine and it has inspired me to create a bigger art journal page I will show soon.
Have a great day and have keep searching for inspiration all around you!
