Bookmark/Tags WOYWW #778

I've  been finishing off some tag/bookmarks this week and I do like a bookmark.

I also wanted to use these cool digi images from Polkadoodles and thought that they would look great on some bookmarks.

It's also What's on your Workdesk Wednesday - which I linked up with last week, 

a day when you link up to Julia Dunnits Stamping Ground and see what others have been up to. There are details on her blog, should you wish to link up too.

So this was how my table started off for WOYWW.  I'd printed off and coloured my digi images with my Promarker alcohol pens.  Normally my colouring only stretches to the size of an ATC card, but I am gradually stepping further out of my comfort zone.

For my bookmark bases I used some leftover backgrounds that I had previously made using distress oxide inks. One of them was quite pale so I added some background stamping too.

I added some Pretty Gets Gritty explosion powder to the second layer of one of my tags for a purple and gold shimmer and they were both edged with a little metallique wax.

This one will go in the birthday card for my friend's daughter. I really liked these images from Polkadoodles when I saw them. They are both from their Ickyink Art Collection.

I haven't decided on a home for this one yet, she may be used in my craft journal.

I managed to get a picture of this feathered beauty in my garden too. The Jay doesn't normally hang about, but had noticed that I'd left some peanuts out for the squirrels on the log. Well it ate those and then decided to have a good look around whilst there.

So far it's been coming back every day... not sure the squirrel's too chuffed about that...

What have you got planned for the day? Whatever it is, I hope it is a good one for you.

Halloween Tags

Sharing some bookmarks that I have just finished making and I love the new range of red rubber Halloween stamps from IndigoBlu this year. I have used Spooky Girl.

I still use bookmarks a lot and they are always really handy to gift too, especially with your craft swaps. I also just enjoy making them.

The first one I made was stamped with black Versafine Clair ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I used Craft Artist's Fusion Ink in Hunters Gold for the background.

It's really difficult to see the flecks of gold mica in the misty grey/green background. I used the Berry Fusion ink on the pumpkins for a shimmery glow. These inks are beautiful to use. 

 For a touch more texture, I have added glossy accent to her eyes and  I added a little Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss in Midnight Sparkle to the background.

My second tag was just stamped in black versafine Clair ink and then coloured in the image like the first tag. I used a sparkle dye based ink in ocean blue to add a  dusky shimmer to the background.  I also made use of some Tattered Lace Halloween die cuts in my stash to embellish my tags.

My third tag was stamped in sepia versafine ink. I bought some wool from a charity shop last year and thought that it would come in handy for projects like this. 

I think this is such a cool stamp and one that you can adapt in many ways for your crafting and not just for Halloween and have been looking forward to using this one.

Another week is nearly coming to an end already and the days are starting to get shorter too!

Have a good rest of the week!

Happy crafting
