Mad For Markers Anything But a Card Challenge

*** This is my third (and final) post today! ***

I left these until the last minute (of course) as I am entering them in the Mad for Markers Monthly Challenge - Anything But a Card challenge and it finishes tomorrow! My two lovelies have been after me to make them a bookmark each ever since I made these for my niece and nephew. So I basically killed two birds with one stone and entered the challenge and made my kids happy!

Please note that since taking the photographs I have removed the ribbons and buttons and laminated the bookmarks. Then I reattached the ribbons and buttons. Now they will last even longer and I won't have to fix them when 'bits' fall off! Clever huh!


Card Recipe:
Cardstock: Bazzill, Plain white cardstock
Paper: Scenic Route Metropolis, American Crafts Everyday - Good Morning, American Crafts The Goods - Sweet Pea
Stamps: TGF Mermaid Anya, TGF Skater Ian, Stampin' Up Fishy Friends, Hero Arts Galaxy of Stars
Inks: Memento Black Tuxedo, Versafine Black Onyx
Embellishments/Other: Copics, White grosgrain ribbon, Making Memories celery ribbon, Making Memories capri and rose ribbon, Kindyglitz crystalina and hot pink, Stampin' Up slot punch,Sizzix alphabet,nestabilities, star and heart buttons, white floss


Also entering this into Lili of the Valley Challenge Week 73 - Anything Goes


Thanks for looking...have a great night and goodnight!
