Coloured the whole watercolour paper background and image using soft pastel, applying Nagomi art technique. I punch out tiny sakura flower and butterfly on photostate paper as the masking template to colour them using finger touch.
Cut out the sentiment using Memory Box Alphabet Soup die from a snippet of black card stock. Adhered to a piece of red card stock and tied up with yellow yarn. Am making this bookmark to remind myself to stay happy despite the Covid-19 lockdown. The bookmark is based on this sketch.

Love your bookmark. So cute! My grand daughter loves to read. I need to make her one. It's great that we have a fun hobby to keep us busy and keep our minds off of this horrible virus. Don't let it get you down. Remember God is is in control. Happy day to you and stay safe!

Very cute bookmark and with an important message too. Love the muted, soft look of the flowers. Thank you for joining us at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this - a beautiful book mark! And, it remins us that older generations went through so much more than this current situation.

This is definitely one happy bookmark and all that bright yellow certainly made me smile. Have never heard of that art technique, will have to look it up. Your colours are so vivid and using the black for the sentiment really makes it stand out. A fabulous project and I'm so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT. Please stay safe!!
