Stampotique Bookmark

The challenge at Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog is to make a bookmark.
I cut two pieces of white card 14.5x5cm. Front and back of book mark. I had just enough decorative tape for the background left over from my last cardto cover the front of the bookmark. The stamp used on the tape is Paris Postcard (Stampotique). I stamped 'Eric' onto white scrap card. Coloured with distress inks,cut out and adhered over the background tape. The back of the bookmark was coloured with distress stain in Faded Jeans. Stamped a mesh background in Frayed Burlap distress ink and sponged outer edges in Walnut Stain distress ink.
I took photos before laminating and adding ribbon.

    This is fab - I also made a bookmark with Eric but then decided I liked the one I had made before it better - too much choice with these stamps methinks
