Flower Bookmark

Rubber stamp: vase with flower

Memory Box 'Alphabet Soup' die for the sentiment

soft pastel,  MementoTuxedo Black, colour pencils 

I coloured the background using soft pastel, mixing red and blue to get the lilac colour since my soft pastel set does not have this colour. I have to look up in Google for colour mixture.

Created the bubble by rubbing off the background using eraser and circle stencil (which I use 2 sizes of hole punch to punch on paper as stencil).  I learned this  pastel Nagomi technique recently via free online course. Love it. 

Stamped the image and coloured with colour pencils, fussy cut and adhere to the bookmark. The sentiment was cut using Memory Box Alphabet Soup dies.

Trying my hands on using small stamp to make cards. These stamps have been in my cupboard for many years and never use before. Quite difficult to colour the image as it is quite small.

Hero

Made this digital layout using patterned papers from various company ie Echo Park, Cosmo Cricket etc. Have not been creating digital layout for quite some time (years probably) and it is fun to be able to spend some time doing it.

This layout is based on a theme song of Mariah Carey titled 'Hero' in Challenge YOUrself blog.  I picked up some of the lyrics from that song as the journal for my layout.
