Today I’m going to show you how to make a watercolor planner bookmark for your Passion Planner. Passion Planners are built around a system to help you achieve your goals, focusing on the ones that will make the biggest difference in your life. After mapping out my Passion Plan I created a bookmark as an every-day reminder of what I'm working towards, and I want to show you how to make your own. Here's what you'll need to get started.
Supplies:
Tombow Dual Brush Pens (I chose the Landscape Palette 10-Pack)
Watercolor Paper
Passion Planner (Dated Forest Green pictured)
Tombow Water Brush (Medium)
Scissors
Step 1: Sketch Your Design
After completing your Passion Roadmap and determining your Game Changer goal, pick a word that will remind you of that goal. Sketch it out on your watercolor paper, using a 4H MONO Drawing Pencil. You can choose to draw a pattern around the word, or images that relate to it, it's up to you. The word I'm using here is 'Create' with a honeycomb-patterned background.
Step 2: Color Your Design
Once you're happy with your pencil sketch, use your Dual Brush Pens to add color to your background. Then blend each section of ink with your Water Brush. If you're right-handed I suggest working from left to right so you don't smear your ink while it's wet, and remember to clean your water brush in between each colored section (unless you'd like to mix the colors together). I usually have a piece of folded paper towel on hand for cleaning my brush.
Step 3: Color Your Word
Once the background is completely dry it is time to add color to the word that you chose. I outlined the letters using the bullet tip on my Dual Brush Pen and then filled them in with the brush tip. And, if you want your word to be extra dark, wait a few minutes for the first layer to dry completely and then go back over it again.
Step 4: Cut Out Your Bookmark
The only thing left to do is cut out your bookmark and start using it as a daily reminder in your Passion Planner! Happy goal achieving!
