Last week I received 3 stamps sets from Flourishes and I cannot stop colouring!!!! Lately, I am addicted to bookmarks. I always loved bookmarks, I collected for years, now I make my own. I think they are a perfect gift as well.
All my bookmarks are cold laminated. I buy some laminating pockets and I do not need a laminating machine. So easy!
For the clouds, I used a cloud die cut and I distressed the background with Ranger Distress Inks.
Recently, my local craft shop started carrying all the Distress Inks colours and, apart for 3 or 4 colours, I have all of them. I think they are so versatile and I seem to use them a lot. Before I used a sponge, then I bought an Ink blending tool (Ranger) and I love it, it blends beautifully!
Stamps: DIY TOPIARIES (Flourishes) - On the back of the bookmark: Retro Backgrounds (Papertrey), the hand-stamped stamp is from Kitchen Sink Stamps.
Inks: Memento (tsukineko), Broken China, Frayed Burlap (Distress Inks)
Accessories: Blending tool (Ranger), eyelets, ribbon, laminating pockets, Fiskar 3 in 1 corner punch (lace), corner rounder punch, Copic markers.

It's been cloudy and rainy and I haven't been able to take good pictures.
If I have inspired, leave me a message. I'd love to hear your opinions!
