Today is challenge day for the Serendipity Stamps Design Team. This week we were challenged to make a bookmark. I have been loving my dear friend Julia Aston's magnetic bookmarks, so I knew that was what I wanted to make. I also did something unheard of - I made the bookmark for myself! :)
I used the letter A from the Floral Alphabet. I stamped it in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and colored it with Copic markers and Spica glitter pens. The patterned paper is from the Garden Variety and Material Girl collections from Cosmo Cricket. I knew I wanted to use these reds together, so I colored my stamped image to coordinate. I stitched the patterned papers together and inked the edges.Here's a shot of the inside - I lined the front with another piece of patterned paper to cover up my (messy) stitching.
The magnets stick together through the book page and help save your spot. Doesn't it look great? And so easy - make one for yourself today! I have really been loving these Serendipity challenges! It is good help to ease me back into stamping - I've been having such a hard time lately.
Thank you for stopping in today, you won't want to miss what the other Design Team members have come up with! Have a great day!
