365 Cards Day 170 Double Duty


For today's card our creations had to have a dual purpose, not however a money holder or gift card holder. I chose to make a bookmark. Knowing what I'm like when I try to read in bed, I thought that this sentiment was apt.
No fancy matting or layering, just an image (coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils and a water brush) and a sentiment... plus the ribbon to stop it from sliding out of the book!
DO please take a look at my yesterday's 365 Cards contribution, I've only just managed to post it!

    three beautiful creations.

    I love your tri-fold card with the fake button. The artemino stamps look great over the stripey paper, I would never have thought to use them like that, great idea.

    I like your image, it is wonderfully coloured. And a book mark is a very good small gift too!

    This is so pretty! I usually end up using the receipts for my books as my bookmarks (i think that's blasphemy to a scrapbooker lol)
