Summer bookmarks

I haven't been posting in awhile: laziness, some days of vacations, drop of creativity (mainly due to the lack of raw materials, hahaha 🤣) and days and days went by...
Today I want to show you some bookmarks I recently made by using a cute digital stamp, some scrap paper and a magazine's paper.
The digital stamp is from the Glimps series. I stamped it on 100% cotton watercolor paper, and I've colored it with ZIG watercolors and Stabilo Swano markers. I added some interest to the little photographers with a fine tip black marker, a white gel pen and glossy accents (on camera's lens and flower-shaped hair pin).
After watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d3irNsptSw), I decided to try 3 different color combinations to create these skin tones

I cut and rounded the corners of scrap paper and matching colored card stock.

I punched either flowers or circles in the paper and added some magazine's shiny paper containing text on the back of the holes.

I also stamped with black ink the words 'explore' and 'relax' which I found very appropriate for the holiday time and the little photographer stamp.

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
