Bookmark

Today not a card, I wanted to do something different.

I love reading (just finished the new Harry Potter!)

and I am always looking for my bookmark.

Today I made 3 new ones.

I was with a friend and found these great

bookmark stamps in her stash

(we just don't know what firm made them).

I started with stamping on a piece of scrap paper

with black ink.

I also stamped with a script stamp on the dress

and than i took out my pecils for coloring.

Next i took out the small dragonfly stamp and die

by Michael Strong. After stamping

and embossing the dragonfly I colored it with 

distress ink from my craft sheet. 

Then  I took the mask of the die and put it over the 

stamped image, marked the dots and....

took the mask off and added the metal die.

A little piece of tape keeps the die in place.

Now the dragonflies are ready to add to the bookmark.

This bookmark has used the same stamp, but here

I embossed the image in gold on the same green paper.

Image collored and the dragonflies embossed

and cut with the die.

The 4rd bookmark is a more Asian background

with Michael Strong's small cloisonné crane stamps.

The background is stamped on a more pink piece of

scrap paper with black ink. The flowers are colored with

pencil. The craines are embossed with black embossing

powder and cut with scissors. Decorated with tiny sticky pearls.

Yhank you for looking,

have a creative day!
