Delight in the little Things Bookmark

Hi there,

it's time for the July Stamps Spotlight Week and today it is all about the Fond Expressions 2 stamp set. This is my creation:

• cut out a bookmark from watercolor paper using the Avery Elle Bookmark die and cover it with Tim Holtz Postale Tissue Wrap and gesso
• stamp the STAMPlorations French Marigold Large with Memento Luxe (Gray Flannel) twice and color them with Distress Re-Inkers (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold)
• stamp the leaves from the STAMPlorations Distressed Floral Swirls set with the same Memento Luxe Ink three times along the edge and color them with Distress Re-Inkers (Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn)
• stamp the sentiment from the wonderful new STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2 stamp set with Memento Luxe (Sweet Plum)
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Dusty Concord)
• as you probably now all the Distress Ink stays reactive if water is added; to avoid stains in your book, cover the whole tag with Micro Glaze to seal it
• thread a piece of seam binding dyed with Distress Paints (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Dusty Condord) through the hole of the tag

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.

You can win by commenting on the blogs until August 23rd and these are the prizes:

• FIVE (5) commenters randomly drawn from the designers' blogs will each win the stamp set featured for the day.
• ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from the STAMPlorations blog will win a $25 gift certificate
