Hello again. Today I'm sharing a bookmark I made for a vintage swap over on Splitcoast.
For my bookmark, I pulled out a stamp set from See-Dee's I had bought from Lauren (mytime) when she cleaned out her stamp closet a couple of years ago.
Once I stamped my images in memento tuxedo black onto some vanilla bookmark cardstock, I colored the images using prismacolor watercolor pencils instead of using my markers. I was hoping not using the markers would "lighten" the images and make the bookmark appear old and faded. To help achieve the aged look I was trying for, I stippled some Tim Holtz old paper, tea stain and antique linen inks over and around the images. After I was done layering everything, I pulled out some antique brass vintage brads to finish everything off. Here's a close up of the details.
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day.
