New bookmarks!

Hi stampers!

I've got 2 new entries to share with you today!

First we have this bookmark that was sent in by Vicky Fernando:


Vicky says:

"I started by cutting the leather to size, I then applied some white acrylic paint, and when dried, I stamped the following stamps using Archival Ink (jet black) masking as required: Victoria's Secret "art definition", Cats life Press "the answer...", Basic Grey "to do" clear stamps, and an oldie clear stamp from Studio Astarte "reading". I then trimmed both edges with an Alterations Die".


"I  got a domino sized Stampbord piece and a 1" piece and covered them both with StaZon inks in the following colours: rusty brown, mustard, blazing red, and timber brown. The images are from Darkroom Door stamps, and were stamped using StaZon ink in black".


"I then highlighted the images by scratching the tiles, and sealed them with a coating of Dimensional Magic. The silver chain was salvaged out of a bag of broken/tangled jewellery which my daughter was throwing away a while ago".

Gorgeous work Vicky!

Next we have a pair of bookmarks that was sent in by Emily Shultz:


Emily says:

"I made a set of two "puzzle piece" bookmarks for my dad for this challenge. Other then a load of measuring, I stamped, punched, and stitched to make the bookmarks. I used papers from the "Wanted" collection by Cosmo Cricket along with matching cardstock". 


"The stamps were from a few different stamp sets, but the hand is by Cherry Pie Art Stamps and the words are mostly from Tim Holtz and Kaisercraft sets".

Great work Emily!

I don't know about you, but I am LOVING all the different types of bookmarks and seeing everyone's creativity shine!

Have a great weekend!

I'm a 'newbie' to your blog - & I, too, are stunned by the creativity shown by these bookmarks - wish I could think up such great ideas! Oh well...

Vicky said...

Emily, your bookmark is stunning, & if I had the patience for all the measuring I would add it to my "to try" list LOL. I'm sure your dad would have loved it :)

Loving the leather, with it's vibrant orange. Would never have thought of painting on it - fantastic! Emily, I really like the idea of paired bookmarks - great as a gift because I for one, always have at least two books on the go at the same time! Really like the black and red scheme here too.
