Another Bookmark Card

By
Today was my first workshop of 2012 and it went really well. We made Bookmark Cards like the one I made here last week.
I have made another one today to go with the tutorial I have written which can be found on my Craft Club Blog or by clicking the picture in the side bar.
Here is the card


I have used my Papermania Urban stamps again - I really love the seed heads at the bottom of the card.
The section on the right has been perforated so that when the card is no longer relevant as a card the section can be easily removed to be used as a bookmark.
The background was created using my favourite tool - the brayer and would you believe used 5 colours of ink!! I'm really pleased with the result though and it feels like it has a nice warm glow to it as I sit and freeze in my craft room!
Thanks for looking today - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I do like these bookmark cards Jacqueline! We're always in need of bookmarks in our family - do bookmarks go to the same place socks go when you've washed a pair but only one comes out of the washing machine?!! Vicky x

    following on from above..... or where teaspoons disappear to?

    I was just looking to find what ink this is as it's gorgeous, and can't believe you've used 5 types. It's beautiful, and such a clever idea. Thank you for putting your tutorial up. I am going to try to have a go later this week. (I might even try learning how to brayer again - it's my craft block area!!)

    Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    And - where does your best kitchen knife go - out with the vegetable peelings - luckily the binmen had not arrived!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
