Lindy’s Gang New Year Bookmarks

Hello gang! Happy New Year! Do you have a New Year’s Resolution? I am terrible at them, but this year I have several goals this year:

1. Try a “new to me” crafty technique every month, and

2. Read more books.

I tend to collect books like I collect craft supplies lol, so this year its about using my stash. Today, I am creating a couple of watercolor bookmarks which will help me complete my goals.

Process:
1. Cut watercolor paper to the size you would like your bookmark and tape down the edges with washi tape.

2. Apply the Lindy’s shakers to the bookmark. I used Magical Shakers in the Tea & Crumpet set – Pinkies Up Pink, Pass the Jam Jane and Crumpet Crumbs. You can move the colors around with a paintbrush if you want full coverage on your bookmark.

3. After the bookmark has dried completely, use a floral silhouette stamp or paint floral silhouettes on your bookmark. I made two bookmarks and tried each technique. I painted some little flowers with Waterlilies Lavender from the Monet All Day Shaker set and stamped the floral silhouettes with Versafine Clair Twilight ink.

4. You can stop here, but I wanted a little more of texture in my background so I added a background text stamp (Visible Image Textured Street stamp) in white ink.

5. I added a little shine to my bookmarks with the Lindy’s Blazing Sun spray which is part of the Glitz Spritz set. While the bookmark was still wet, I sprinkled a little of the Gimme Five Gold Embossing Powder on the wet background and quickly heat embossed it. This gives a light embossed texture to the background. 

6. Remove the washi and punch a hole at the top to add twine and complete your bookmark.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I’ve inspired you to create some bookmarks of your own.

Happy New Year!
