Answers on a postcard please lol. Have you heard this one before. I always tell it to friends who are finding a situation overwhelming. How do you eat an elephant...it's huge and solid, where do you start......well, it's one bite at a time the same as any other meal.
This bookmark is a visual reminder for a dear friend. The background is covered in pink card with white Mulberry paper glued on top. I put it through a script embossing folder, glued folded pieces of ribbon around the back...putting another circle of card on the back to cover it. Then a row of pearls - coloured pink with blossom promarker - all around the edge.
Ele is a Arthurs Clipart Digi, and coloured with Blossom and Dusky Pink Promarkers, and is wearing Cotton Candy Stickles on her toe nails. I've over the edge cut her with a nestie and outlined the nestie with Blossom promarker and Stickles
The 'tuck into the book' part of the bookmark is cut using a Marianne Creatables
and embossed with the same folder.
The backing card is silver, embossed with a Cuttlebug folder
and adorned with more Stickles.
