I had lots of fun with the first one so I thought I'd do a holiday themed one this time!

We will be making one bookmark for our one partner. The base of the bookmark will be one of those paint swatches you can get for free anywhere they sell paint. Please use one that has at least three color examples on it. (As shown in the photo.)

We will be altering these swatches. The back can be decorated/covered however you like as long as you do something with it. When decorating the front you must leave some of each color visible.

You can draw, paint, collage, etc. Use whatever technique you'd like as long as it's decorated. You could do one theme across the whole bookmark or a different theme in each square. You can leave the names of the colors showing or cover them up.

This time the theme is Christmas. You can interpret this any way you want. Santa, Angels, Baby Jesus, Ornaments, Reindeer, Christmas Lights, Wise Men, Christmas Trees, etc... anything having to do with the holiday. If you celebrate the secular side of Christmas only please keep in mind you may receive something religious in nature. Please be okay with that if you join this swap.

You can use any colors you'd like. Who says Christmas is only red and green? Crazy! As long as your bookmark obviously has something to do with Christmas you may use any color scheme you like. I'm making this due in November so that we can use our Christmas bookmarks over the holidays.

Any questions please ask below.

Hmmmm... I'd like to keep this one Christmas themed BUT you are always free to ask your partner if that is okay with them. :)

F.Y.I. -- using one of those gummy art erasers will remove the names of the colors from the front

..... or those white kind folks have been using to carve stamps

Oooh, good tip!

I think leaving the colour names on is kind of a nice idea...

I do too, I guess it depends on how you're decorating yours. On my last one I left the names on and based the design around the names.
