Gingersnaps Creations this week is T Y P E W R IT E R S, which gave me the perfect opportunity to use the typewriter stamp i got from Michael's.i thought about making a tag, then i thought "what the hell does a tag do?" and i can't bring myself to make art that isn't functional or would look nice on display. so i made a bookmark instead. goes with the theme, yes?
i used some cardstock and paper from a Tim Holtz paper stack along with some of his tissue tape along the sides. i gessoed the
bookmark at the bottom to make sure my stamp would show up.then i added some gold highlights and splatters.
of course i had to add some 3D elements, so i gave it a ton of ribbon at the top with an Eiffel tower and heart charm.
i also added a jewelry embellishment to the center.
i never create just paper things, but this was fun! i like it. :)

This is gorgeous! Love all the fun embellies to come out of the top of the book. I snagged that stamp too, great for the challenge. Thanks for playing along at Gingersnap Creations!
ReplyDeleteBookmarks are always good to make and much nicer to use when it is handmade.
