The Bookmarks challenge is officially closed! Thank you to everyone who sent in entries this month - they're fabulous!
I have a couple more to share that came in before deadline last night.
First we have this bookmark that was sent in by Karen Daley from Canada:
Karen says:
"I used a #8 manila tag and sponged on various colours and stamped over with Darkroom Door botanical silhouettes using Distress Ink. I splattered, and added some more flowers, and the diamond stamp down the side (also Darkroom Door). The flourish in gold (hard to see on the scan) is a Stampers Anonymous stamp. The quotation is black embossed and also Darkroom Door. The ribbon is hand-dyed silk and really matches the Victorian Velvet ink".
Gorgeous work Karen!
Next we have this bookmark that was sent in by Lyn Smith:
Lyn says:
"I used some watercolour paper and wet it liberally before applying some Lumiere paints. I had to water down the paints a fair bit so that my stamping would show through, but hopefully you can still see the lovely shimmer of the paints in my photos. Just click on the photos for a close-up of the shimmer".
"The stamp I used is a gorgeous peacock, one of my favourite images by Magenta Stamps. After my painted watercolour piece had dried, I used Black Onyx Versafine ink to stamp the peacock, I find it's the best for finely detailed stamps like this one. When the ink had dried, I used a gold gel pen and a Signo white gel pen to highlight some of the peacock. I layered my stamped piece onto some black cardstock, punched a hole in the top and added a purchased tassel".
Beautiful work Lyn!
And last but not least we have this bookmark that was sent in by Kim Price:
Kim says:
"I have used stamps by Darkroom DOor and Kaisercraft. I've also used some paper Prima flowers, Tim Holtz Distress Crackle, some thick black twine and a doodling pen".
Lovely work Kim!
Who knew bookmarks would bring out so many stampers and so much gorgeous creativity! This has been a really fun challenge to watch!
Don't forget - March's challenge will start very soon, and will only go until the end of the month - so you'll need to jump into action quickly! :)
Until then.......
