Today I stepped a little out of my comfort zone to try a bite-sized project using watercolor painting the Ai way! I'm not half as skilled as our WC Design Team but when your art is as little as on this bookmark, having perfect skills don't matter. It's just an element and not the primary focus of the project.
The bookmark is created using the 6043 - Bible Bookmark Dies. The set includes three scripty words of faith and I chose to use Jesus on the bookmark. There are many pieces in the set so you can use your own creativity to give these your perfect touch. At the bottom of mine, I stamped the bird from the 5992 - Dwelling Animal Set 2 and the tree is from 5989 - Dwelling Foliage Set. The stamps in the Dwelling sets are so perfect as little accents and their size makes them simple to paint using Tombow markers, water and a brush.
After completing the bookmark, I made the tassel for it out of baker's twine. I haven't made one in decades so I had to really think about it. It turned out well and is perfect attached to the bookmark.
I liked using this die set so much, I immediately made another bookmark and I think these will be great little gifts tucked into Christmas packages this year or inside a card. They'll fit nicely into bibles and other books. What do you think? Would these make good gifts for the book lovers in your life?
Thanks for joining me here today. As always, don't forget to find your favorite stamps, dies, papers, and accessories at the Ai Store! You'll always find something that calls to you.
Happy Crafting!
