Dressed To Impress With A Lipstick Or Two

August 6, 2021 2 Comments

Today’s project was one of those happy accidents that happen from time to time. I was sorting through through some of my older but still available stamp sets and came across Dressed To Impress. This is such a fun set including a shoe, perfume bottle and flower images. But my favourite image is the lipstick. This set hasn’t seen ink in a long time, so I decided to take a break from organising and make a quick project instead.

COLOURFUL LIPSTICK

I began with a 2″ x 5-1/2″ strip of Thick Basic White Card. Then across the centre I stamped “Kindness is always in style” using Tuxedo Black ink. With that done I could see where to stamp the lipstick images to fill in the rest of the bookmark.

Once the lipsticks were stamped in Tuxedo Black ink I settled down to colour them using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. Each image would have a dark Basic Black barrel and a dark Daffodil Delight collar. Then each lipstick and base was coloured to match. For this I used the dark and light version of each colour (except the Ivory). In the end I used Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Real Red, Ivory, Cherry Cobbler and Pale Papaya. As the Ivory marker doesn’t come in light and dark shades I simply went over it a couple of times to add darker areas.

TIP – To create the impression of a rounded barrel I simply left a rough narrow white strip uncoloured.

Before putting away the Stampin’ Blends I decided to use them to create some custom-coloured twine. From the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack I cut three 6″ pieces of white twine. Then I coloured each one in a different colour. From the collection of pens on my desk I chose dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Polished Pink and dark Fresh Freesia.

While the twine was drying I shaped the top of the bookmark and added a hole using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

Then to finish I folded the twine in half and poked the loops through the hole. Then I passed the ends of the twine through the loops and gently pulled to secure them in place.

And just like that my project was complete. Sadly that meant I had to get back to my sorting. On the plus side, there were more treasures to be rediscovered, and that’s never a bad thing!

For another project featuring that fun lipstick image, see my previous blog post Not sure I’ll ever be this bold.

    Hi,
    Your idea of the white strip is awesome. I don’t always comment but I do visit your blog everyday. I’m from the United States. You have such creative ideas.
    Thanks for sharing.
