Bookmarks

Hello everyone,

I'm here with my first creations with the Warm Weather Animals stamps and dies from the new SSS Among the Stars release, and this set is so adorable.  

I gave my daughters a reading challenge for the summer.  My oldest loves books and loves to read, so I challenged her to read 10 books over the summer and at the end we would get her something special.  My youngest daughter does not like to read but I have her the same challenge but for 5 books and at the end of the summer we would get her something special as well.
To kick off the challenge I made them each a book mark to use with their first book.

I took some watercolour paper and created a background for both bookmarks and heat embossed the pineapple with SSS white embossing powder.  I then used the SSS basic banners dies to cut out two banners. 

My oldest chose this one with the teddy and with one of the banners I coloured it with my Zig Clean Color markers in yellows, browns and greens and the teddy in brown, like yellow and blue.  I die cut the teddy and added him with foam tape. I them stamped the sentiment in SSS intense black ink and punched a small hole in the top of the banner and added some DMC embroidery floss.




My youngest chose the flamingo one and I coloured these in pinks and green.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of patterned paper I had in my stash (I'm not pleased with the paper but she liked it) and adhered it to the banner.  I die cut the flamingo and added him with foam tape.



Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.
