Vintage Bookmark

Hello! I hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to the weekend! I love that Friday feeling when you get home from school and can just chill out! Thank you for all your lovely comments about going back to school! I've had a really nice first two weeks back, and my little brother has really enjoyed his first couple of weeks of year seven and seems to be settling in well.





















I made this bookmark for my mum, as she is in the middle of reading the Harry Potter books for the first time at the moment, so I thought I'd make her a vintage bookmark to use.




I've had this cute little Penny Black image for ages and have never used it before, but I think it's perfect for gift boxes and bookmarks because of its size.


Materials:

Image: Penny Black

Papers: Prima - Annalee

Cardstock: Crafters Companion

Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy

Fibres, Flowers, Spacers & Gems: From My Stash

Ruffled Ribbon: From Chris

Vintage Stamps: Tim Holtz

Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils

Paint: Tim Holtz Acrylic Dabber

Brads: PaperMania


I'm entering this into the following challenges:

- Allsorts Challenge - Flowers & Swirls

- Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes

- Cupcake Craft Challenges - Back To School

- Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes


I'm just off to make a card for a great challenge I've just spotted - will be back soon hopefully with a card, and then you'll see which challenge I mean!


I know it's only September, but I feel all cosy, because it's just started raining outside and we're having a roast dinner for tea, yum - my favourite tea! :)


Anyway, thanks for looking and have a great weekend, whatever you're doing!

Bye for now, love, Georgia xx
