Sharing a bookmark I made for the current challenge at the Tag You're It! Challenge. The very cute inspiration was created by Jen Mitchell.
For my book mark I coloured the Mama Elephant images with markers and blended the colours with water. To the balloons I added some sparkle with a jelly roll pen and coated them with glossy accents. Please excuse the quality of the pictures, I was out of town on vacation and had to improvise. Thank goodness I have some crafty relatives, my sister in law lent me some tools to finish my tag.
A couple weeks a go Jennifer McGuire had a guest artist, Julia Alderman, share her technique for watercoloring using markers. I was inspired to try the Stabilo markers and found they were a convenient size for me to bring on my trip.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have some time to join us for the current Tag You're It! Challenge.
This is so adorable, and I have been admiring your coloring all week. I hope you had a nice vacation--how fun to be able to do a bit of crafting too.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, charming bookmark! I still don't have this ME set, but my 'local' scrapbook gal (four hours away....that's as close as I get to any 'real' shopping where I can actually touch things before buying them) is putting in her first ME order and I've put this stamp/die set on her list. Excited! Your colouring is awesome; isn't Julia simply fantastic! Great to know that you love her videos/creativity as much as I do!
