Bouquet of Bookmarks (Inktense Pencil Techniques!)

[@Knorrette]

For my 60th birthday, I bought myself the wooden case. I love using Inktense on unbleached cotton - the effect is quite unique. Lovely project that really highlights the diversity of Inktense. Thank you for sharing.

[@Craftaartissaurus]

Such a great idea. Thinking I could make a few and gift them to our local library, they have a help yourself to a free bookmark area. I love quick little projects like these, thank you for a wonderful tutorial.

[@katyratyra]

These turned out great! My Inktense need some love. My favorite part?…the straw for creating grass!

[@lechat8533]

Oh, Lindsay... Due to my illness, I can`t do bigger projects anymore. That`s why I like cardmaking. The smaller the artwork, the better for me. Miniatures are the best :))) This video gave me new inspiration. I love the stamps you added in the end. You are such a treasure in my life and I wish I could give you many more than just one LIKE per video. I often go back and watch your older projects again and again, and they always inspire me. 😍THANK YOU!

[@rmuller366]

I can always count on you Lindsay to help me understand a new medium. I was gifted some inktense pencils and needed a place to start with them. Thank you so much for this tutorial and for all you do! Blessings to you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@debraadkins-brown399]

I've been taking a long break for health reasons. I've missed you! It's so inspiring to see you again. Watching you has been like visiting an old friend.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I hope you are feeling better:)

[@pamelamoniz608]

These would make nice mini slim line card fronts! Nice!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Great idea! I can share the template when I get back from the NAEA show in New York! This is the project i am doing for the make n take and we had rhem all pre printed to save time so i have a patten already made!

[@pamelamoniz608]

Awesome! Sounds great!

[@katzarm]

Beautiful bookmarks! I have a set of 72 Inktense pencils that I really never took the time to learn how to use them properly. This video lesson is well explained and easy to follow, so I will be practicing while watching this video lesson again. Thanks for posting a great video lesson for us.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@deejohnson827]

Really pretty bookmarks!

[@GGGaia]

Love this. I rarely use my Inktense pencils, but having watched this I will be getting them out for sure. Tfs!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Try them on fabric too!

[@lechat8533]

@@thefrugalcrafter Wow. what a great idea :)))

[@yelsyels]

I love this video ...the bookmarks and the style!

[@ArtsiRosi]

Love them! I'm enjoying your tutorials where you use Derwent products very much. There aren't many out there and it's great to see how to use them in different ways.

[@winterstar183]

I was gifted the set of 36 for my birthday and am slowly growing what I do with them and will try something like this at the week-end . I know you can use them on fabric to so going to try out on a cotton tote bag I have. Thanks for the inspiration as you always inspire xx

[@romeredubost6971]

That is an award winning tutorial by you🏆🏆thanks for sharing your ideas and artwork.

[@aartadventure]

A lovely demonstration that quickly shows the potential of Inktense pencils while creating a beautiful piece of art. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us!

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

Thank you for this one! I will give them a try. I have to stop admiring my Inktense pencils and use them. The techniques seem very doable Xx

[@cathyhesson4420]

Love these.. You are so talented. Thanks for sharing.

[@nancyhansen8505]

LOVE, LOVE LOVE these! Another winner tutorial Lindsay!!!!

[@MsDanaGerous]

I have these but haven’t used for ages! Forgot how fun they are to use! Am totally inspired to get them back out. TY!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

Really pretty bookmarks! Wish I could draw.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'll share a template when I get back from New York!

[@delila351]

I have missed you drawing and painting :) This is gorgeous.

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

This is such a fun video! I really like the small format of the bookmarks. The masking really gives such nice edges. The salt, straw and plastic wrap techniques look great! And, Inktense! Thank you!

[@created2bless322]

Thank Lindsay! Jammed packed with fun and beauty!!!

[@carmenvogels-aagaard5559]

What a fun project. Love my Inktens pencils, they are awesome. I like how your creative brain works. So much new ideas pop up in mine. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@craftergin]

I love the salt technique and the blowing with a straw! Turned out great. I adore my inktense pencils. But I do find that if I use too much it rubs off! I've started using less of the intense, let it dry, then do another layer. As many layers as needed. If you use a softish brush and have good paper, it can take the layers. The best part is, the layering allows you to create a lot of depth.

[@rockmoussealt7764]

Another lovely project. So glad to learn how to use the Derwent Intense Pencils. Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@georgesgentry5835]

This looks like a fun way to work on techniques and make gifts! Thank you!

I've had the intense pencils for a number of years and never really used them, I'm definitely going to brush the dust off of them and give this a go 😊

[@pampirtle6348]

I recently purchased a set of inktense pencils so this is a very Timely video to show me some tips and tricks of how to use them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art.

[@ranamcmahon7653]

Just beautiful 🤩❤️

[@rhondita95]

Great bookmarks,Lindsay! I’ve been thinking I should make some too!

[@elizekohler6199]

Looks great 👍

[@wanderingstar5673]

Really cute. I have the 12 set that I have never used. Perfect project to get started. Had fun watching as always.

[@kitkat88p]

Love this!! I have a large set of Inktense that I have felt a little intimidated to use. I can't wait to play with these techniques.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are so slow wearing. Don't be afraid:)

[@Coloryourheartout]

So beautiful. You make it look so easy.

[@artfulspace3822]

These are so cute. Looks like I'll need to dig out my inktense and try it.

Very pretty flowers and fun techniques, thank you so much I will watch this again and paint along.. :)

Loads of tips and techniques and what a beautiful result! I have this set of 12 but they're still brand new in the tin. 😞 I will definitely be trying this soon. Thanks so much! Janet 💕

[@justjahneah2462]

Beautiful! And what fun techniques! The kosher salt technique always reminds me of being a kid. I have strong memories of doing that in one of my art classes when I was young. I am definitely going to give some of these techniques a try! I love how the straw technique turned out!

[@claritzairosario68]

I love it soooo much! This is a awesome idea! Many thanks Lindsay!❤🤍❤🥰

[@mariannekeller7504]

Love these!! Thanks so much!!

[@Lisa_G3]

Beautiful and enjoyed all the tips. What sharpener do you use to get the pencils so sharp?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Jarlink, it takes 6-8mm pencils

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

These are lovely, Lindsay. I haven’t used my Inktense pencils in a while so it’s time to break them out. I love their vibrant colours which work so well for florals. Thanks for the project idea! I did notice you had perfect sharp points on your,pencils. What sharpener did you use?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Jarlink, it is just big enough for them with an adjustable 6-8mm hole

[@mom2bsa]

I’ve just found your channel and I love your tutorials with inktense pencils! Did I understand that you can erase the pencil lines?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Regular pencil lines, yes.

[@mickieriley2490]

I've used inktense for years. Definitely one of my favorites. I've never put a protective sealant on them. Have you ever? What have you used? I've been searching you tube videos, but haven't seen anything. I'm on limited time to search for the answer. Knew I could reach out.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Dorlands wax will work if you feel you need something.

[@ToWhateverEnd]

They’ve expanded the range to 100 colors! Please consider reviewing them as soon as possible for us. I need to know if I have to splurge the crazy euro to USD + shipping for these new 28 colors. Will they release the new colors separately, in a tin? I’m assuming no…ugh…

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Will do!

[@erinduckworth6367]

I can't draw worth a hoot lol, BUT! I have some beautiful flower stamps that I will be using to try this technique! Thanks!

[@stephaniepaterson6340]

Gorgeous! Can I ask what masking tape you use? Please? I’m fed up buying ‘wonderful low tack tape’ that rips my paper!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Dollar tree making tape. Or washi tape.

[@susantedder5066]

Fantastic!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Many thanks!

[@miklosnemeth8566]

1:52 That was brutally awesome. I adopted this maskingtape-as a mixing palette trick, and adapted when using regular pan paint too. Where did you learn that?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I thought I invented it 😆

[@miklosnemeth8566]

@@thefrugalcrafter You are brilliant! What kind of paper do you recommend for Inktense/Watercolor PENCILS? Especially when I apply the pencil on the paper dry to avoid pencil marks? I checked out your Amazon product list but it contains so many papers. Thank You so much.

👌👌👍👍superb

[@jengolo7]

Lindsay! This is the most unique introduction to the inktense pencils I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen quite a few at this point! MASKING TAPE AS A PALETTE 👏 GENIUS! FRUGAL! EXACTLY what I needed to hear (and successfully test myself on washi tape) !! Thank you!! ❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much! I'd think washi would be too smooth. Glad it worked!
