Bookmarks.

About 6 weeks ago I agreed to do a bookmark swap.

My swap was going to be the silhouette bookmark here on the right , but I mislaid it and didn't find it until after the  postal deadline. So I made a couple of butterfly bookmarks  and sent one of those instead. The recipient loved the butterfly version.

The multi-coloured butterfly was created by daubing different colour inks on to the stamp and giving the stamp a big huff  or three (to replace the moisture that had evaporated ) before stamping. 

A little sponging around the edges and stamping the splatters in crumb cake ink completed the image. I mounted the completed image onto a piece of brown card stock to frame the image and to hide the ink smudges on the back.

The silhouette bookmark was sponged,  splattered with bleach,   stamped and then mounted.... If you want to know more about  how I  created the background see my post on inking with makeup brushes in  a post below.
