Live your dreams

I made this bookmark for a friend of a friend who had been nice to me as a thank you gift. It´s my first time making on of these corner bookmarks, and eventhough it´s not perfect (not very easy to slip on the corner of the page...) I like how it turned out. I hope I can make it better next time!

I enjoyed making this one so much! I started with a corner of an envelope that I used as a base of the bookmark. The image is Brat Bug-Snail from Bugaboo, so cute! I replaced the snail shell with a coffee cups (from the expresso coffee machines) that I crushed to flatten it, then I embellished with a button and a piece of rafia. As usual I colored the image with colored pencils.
The base is a scrap of white pearled paper and I started decorating by making a border with a piece of fabric that I glued to a piece of paper first and then cut in wide scallops, I finished it with a piece of thin ribbon (from my stash).

On the back I keep it simple, too much maybe... so I punch out circles from a scrap of cardstock, glued them in place and I hand wrote the sentiment with black gel pen, it reads: Live the life you´d always dreamed.

Thank you once more for stopping!
