Adventure and You're in My Heart Bookmark

Here's another project that I've created with the stamps that I've designed for Queen Kat Designs. These are bookmarks that I've created for my hubby. He likes to read very much therefore, I just thought that it would be an awesome surprise small gift for him. He would be able to read and look at the kids once in a while...lol!

Here are the steps.

1) Cut out two strips of pattern paper for the base of the bookmark. Ink it's edges using some distress ink.

2) Ink the edges of the photographs with distress ink and paste it on the pattern paper. Hand stitch one of it's edges for both photographs.

3) Use a self made "ring" masking template and start masking using some distress ink on the bookmark.

4) Stamp the images using solvent ink.

5) To create the floating effect, simply just stamp the "Adventure" and "Compass" again on card stock using embossing ink and heat emboss it using some gold ("Adventure") and white ("Compass") embossing powder. Cut it out , add some brads and paste it using some foam adhesives.

6) Finish it off with some ribbons and fibers.

This is a very simple project but I think it would put a smile on my hubby's face. For those of you who has not posted a comment on my first stamps giveaway post, do it now. I will be announcing the winner soon.
