Bookmarks

Good Morning everyone

I had lots of small strips of white card left which i thought would be ideal for bookmarks.  As part of my using old stash i dug out my much neglected ribbon box too.  I used a funky fossil paper pad which had gelli print backgrounds and is lovely to stamp on.

Set 1 A side.
I cut patterned paper to fit my white card strips and stamped little scenes on them, here i used mostly lavinia stamps.  And some doodled details with black and white gel pens.  I added tim holtz chit chat stickers with positive messages.  

Laminated, hole punched and ribbon added in co-ordinating colours. 

Set 1 B side.  This is the back of the above 3 bookmarks.

set 2

Set 2 A side

Here i used the same woodware floral stamp by stamping it onto the paper and then cutting to size, i put half of the stamped image on the front of the bookmark and the second half on the back.  Details added with acrylic paint pens.  Positive quotes added again

Set 2 B side - this is the back of the above bookmarks

Love these enchanting beauties to bits! I have been a voracious reader throughout my whole life and never feel like I can have enough bookmarks to hand. You've inspired me to add whipping up some new ones of my own to my 2022 crafting project list (thank you!).
