Book Marked!

For a girl with her nose constantly in a book, the book mark challenge for April was well a challenge for me! I've been thinking about it for several days and finally decided to go a route I don't generally go.... antiqued/aged looking.


So here it is: what do you think?

Maybe not finest work but I'm pretty pleased with the results! The finished book mark is 2 1/2" x 6", and I laminated it so it would be sturdier!

Supplies:

~ Serendipity Stamp set: Ink Splash (320QCL)
~ Light brown card stock
~ Corner rounder
~ Various shades of brown ink
~ Sponges
~ Brown thread
~ Sewing machine
~ Hole punch
~ brown fibers
~ laminating supplies ( I used the Xyron laminating cartridge)

First I cut my card stock to size and rounded the corners. Then using my ink and sponges I aged the book mark. Then using the same shades of brown I added the ink splashes. I stamped two of the brushes from the set with dark brown and cut them out. I zig zag sewed around the edges. I then adhered the brushes to the center punched a hole and laminated it. After that I punched the hole again and added my brown fibers.
