Bookmarks by Cathy

 Goodmorning, Today I have 2 bookmarks for you.

I started out by cutting a strip of paper 6in X 2in. 

Then I used a Tim Holtz stencil and green distress ink and make a background.

On a scrap of paper I stamped the creepy creature and colored with Copic markers and cut out and added to the bottom of the bookmark.

For this one I started with 2 different purple distress inks to make the background. 

I then stamped the cross stich on the bottom of the bookmark for the creepy striped creature to stand on.

On a scrap of paper, I stamped the creepy standing creature and colored it with Copic markers and cut out. Next, I placed the cut out on top of the stamped cross stich. Around the background I stamped the grunge writing in purple ink. 

I then stamped the sawtooth stitching off the top of the bookmark.

Lastly, I added some white spots to it.

That look of otherness ..... ► Majo

Hello crafty friends,

It's my pleasure today to show you a little tutorial for a fun card I made with some of my favorite images ....

 I used watercolor paper to stamp my background, the beautiful wall, this stamp is so very versatile for many occasions!

 

 I stamped my images also on watercolor paper, which I had inked a bit, because I wasn't sure in the beginning how the little creatures would end up. This is just me, I roll with the punches, no plan, just let go.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of vellum. Due to the dark wall in the back, I had to enlighten this a bit by adding 2 layers of tape ...

 After I fuzzy cut everything I colored all pieces with Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens. 

The otherness? Well, here it is ... the Tim Holtz Paper Doll!
