I won a colouring competition over on Swedish House Crafts Two weeks ago. With my bookmark!
My prize was to colour the new digital stamp covers to be released on 16th October, which is such an honor. I have also been asked to make an item for the blog for the release.
So as the stamps are about books, I came up with the ideal of making a sign, as I wanted to make something that embraces the love we have for books, the love we all have for reading and for a Library.
I used Copic's with some pencils (polly's) added to give some extra depth. I made the sign by first making sure the stamps were the correct size for the sign I already had and as I have a die that I wanted to use for the window (I used some lightweight vellum to give the look of looking through glass). I had to colour the library first then reduce it on my laptop to be able to get the perspective right behind the window. I cut out the girl using my Scan'N'Cut to give a boarder, and to also give me the matt's and layers. The flower was some flower and leaf dies I've had for years. The words and alphabets are some stickers I had left over from scrapbooking. This sign is 8 x 8 inches in size.
