I intended to make a card for my bookmark to go on today, but that didn't happen, maybe I will get it done and edit the photo soon. The bookmark uses a KK originals image Sakura 2523-K
I also used Asian Word BG stamp 1873-SO after masking Sakura off. The Geisha was colored with Copic Markers and the face with a white gel pen. The Background was sponged with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade & Dried Marigold. I made paper beads by rolling thin strips of designer paper around a toothpick and gluing the end.
Gorgeous bookmark, Shelly! I love the new images and will have to go check them out! Finally got my RN order today!
ReplyDeleteMy fav author would be C. S. Lewis. When I can read both fiction and non-fiction by the same person, then I know they are a favorite!
But I guess my all-time fav book would be East of Eden by John Steinbeck!
Wow Shelly love bookmark, awesome coloring!!
ReplyDeleteLove the bookmark. The stamp is gorgeous. My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. As a retired teacher it was always great to watch the students learn about the past through this novel and it`s moral...always do the right thing, was my gift to my students. Thanks for the blog. It is great.

I love your work Shelly! I also love to read! If I had to narrow all of "my" novels down to my favorite, it would have to be "Cry, the Beloved Country" by Alan Paton. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... My favorite author... I actually have two Johanna Lindsey and Catherine Coulter... great books by both of them..
ReplyDeleteFavorite author!!! How am I supposed to choose. I am a Bronte fan, a Lillian Jackson Braun fan, a ...well the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteI guess today it would have to be Frank Peretti--though I am not a huge thriller fan. But he has a way of describing things that are not visible so I can see them.
Beautiful card--I just love how your sponging created a highlight around the woman.
LOVE IT! My fav author would have to be Joyce Meyers!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a reader but when I do I always enjoy Mary Higgins Clark.

This bookmark, as is all your wor, just makes me pause and have to study and admire. Love it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author: Max Lucado and I went to the Women of Faith conference in Omaha, NE this weekend and he was one of the speakers. sigh...I could have listened to him all night.
Love this tag! One of my favorite books is East of Eden by Steinbeck. My favorite author though would be Max Lucado.
ReplyDeleteShelly your bookmark is beautiful! I love the stamp and your coloring is amazing, love the warm colors.

Great bookmark--love the colors--I'd have to say I enjoy reading a good Stephen King book.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are too clever...making paper beads to add to this bookmark. What a marvelous idea, it just opens so many opportunities. I love the way you shaded the background of this bookmark too.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy way too many genres....I like James Patterson, right now I'm reading Ken Follet...Max Lucado...Frank Perreti... or you can give me a picture book any day (as long as the pictures are good - yes I judge books by their cover!!!!!) I will take almost ANY opportunity to read a picture book to my grade 4 class. I'll find a way to connect it to curriculum, if I have to. haha Joan
I have no favorite author and I don't read fiction anymore-so it's whatever bio or history book strikes me. I also love cookbooks (vegetarian only) but If I had to give one book to an adult, it would be Roots by Alex Haley. A true classic .
ReplyDeleteI don't really read much but I do enjoy most any cookbook. Thanks for the offer, Kathy...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Ted Dekkar..with Frank Paretti a close second. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

Gorgeous bookmark. Going to check out the new stamp line. Samples are great. I read all authors and types of books. Right now I'm reading an older John Grisham novel, The Innocent Man. Pretty good. Thanks so much for offering blog candy.
ReplyDeleteI have way too many favorite authors - one of my all time favs is Nora Roberts.
ReplyDeleteLove looking at your samples!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog candy chance, but how can I pick just one book??? I loved all of the Harry Potter series, I'm a real fan of Dick Francis, and I have to agree with one of the previous posters that for a just fun read, I'm never disappointed with Janet Evanovich's "By the Numbers" series featuring Stephanie Plum.

Beautiful work:)
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite book is The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Very long, but the story is so rich that you can read it over and over and never get bored:)
I love your two Asian cards. I really enjoy cards and art with an oriental flare, but sometimes feel like I am alone with this style. I somehow missed that there were new Asian images in the KK originals section, I'll have to go check it out. If you enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, you might like Snowflower and the Secret Fan. It is about young girls growing up in China in the mid 1800's. It is a novel, but I learned so much about the cultural practices. It was fascinating and scary at the same time. Very good story. I have the newest follow up Peony in love waiting to be read.
