Stampotique Challenge Bookmark SD37



Kate Crane set the challenge here at Stampotique  time to make a bookmark. I stamped Oh Dear on Acetate and then coloured the background with Alcohol Inks. I then cut a long strip of TH resist Kraft paper, folded it in half and inked it with spiced marmalade and Worn lipstick. I cut an window in the resist paper and then mounted the acetate with some lost and found cream paper inside the window.
 On the back I stamped Olivia and then stamped her head onto two die cut flowers from TH die and mounted them onto of each other. Finally I stitched all round the edge with two colours of embroidery thread and made a little tassle.
