Coastal Blue Bookmarks

Coastal Blue looks like a slow week somewhere on the Mediterranean: white walls, olive branches, lemons and a lot of sea. The palette stays tight, cobalt and sky blue with olive green and lemon yellow on a warm cream card, so the ten designs look like one set laid side by side.

Scenes on the main bookmarks

Five of the ten are views. Mediterranean Morning looks down a whitewashed lane with blue shutters to the water. Seaside Reading and The Reading Coast both put an open book on a terrace above the bay. Little Fishing Boat has a white and blue boat tied up in shallow turquoise water, and Blue Hour shows a harbor town after dark, with a crescent moon, a lantern on the steps and lights along the shore.

The other five are closer in. Lemon Coast is a lemon tree in a blue painted pot, Blue Door is a cobalt door at the top of stone steps, Coastal Botanicals is a spray of olive sprigs and grasses, Shell Pearl is a scallop shell with pearls and sea glass in the sand, and Mediterranean Tile is a blue and white tile pattern with a lemon at the center and a shell and starfish above and below.

Every card is framed in a thin blue line with “Coastal Collection” at the top, the design name, and a short line at the bottom such as “Read by the sea” or “Follow the tide.” The five minis drop the scene and keep one small motif: waves, a lemon, an olive sprig, a shell, a sun setting into stripes of sea.

Before you print

Pick the US Letter or A4 sheets to match your paper and print at Actual Size. Scaling throws off the 2 x 6 measurement, and you can check it with a ruler once a test sheet comes out. There’s a cream border around each design, so borderless printing isn’t needed. Let the ink dry before you cut along the light trim marks.
