Birdy Bookmark

Front

I have been making a bookmark for a swap on UK Stampers Forum and initially had no idea what theme to do it in.  I ended up using some fab quirky bird stamps from Personal Impressions (Knotty & Friends - Trotty, Lotty & Botty)

They were stamped onto thin white card in black archival ink and then coloured with Copic markers in bold colours with some areas coloured in gold pen to highlight.

The images were then trimmed out leaving a thin border and set aside.

The bookmark base was a piece of card cut to size and covered on both sides with a paper from My Minds Eye (Stella & Rose - Hazel).  I used Claudine Helmuths Studio matte multi-medium applied with a wide brush as an adhesive.

The coloured birdy cut-outs were then adhered with the same medium and the 'Tweet Tweet' words stamped twice on each side of the bookmark.

The edges of the bookmark were painted with an uneven border of Decoart rich espresso metallic paint with a small brush and the edges rubbed over with dark brown chalk ink to colour any white left behind.

I then gave the whole thing a good coat of the matte multi-medium to seal and provide durability.
