Vintage style Bookmark

Hello friends and followers and anyone else who pops by my blog.

Happy April Fool's Day and Easter Monday. Still like winter here as far as the weather is concerned but the forecast says it the temperature may be a little bit higher later in the week so that will great.

At Rhedd and Rosies challenge blog this time the theme is vintage/shabby. Not something I am very good at so I have kept it small and made a bookmark

The stamps were free from a magazine a long time ago and it did say Vintage Collection so that bit is right.

The bookmark is double so fits over the top of the page which keeps it in place. I used the same Distress ink colour on the background, the edge, the circle and the lace so that they would all match.

Not very inspiring really but I did enjoy making it

Love Chrissie xx

    It's a lovely bookmark! Glad you had fun making it too. I need to make a bookmark for a friend as I have bought her a book for her birthday. Have a lovely day, Valerie

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
