Hi there
You may be glad to know (!!) this is the last of my recent bookmark makes, but I had such fun making them I think some more may be created very soon!
This little guy has been in my stamp stash for years and I've only ever used the set once before so I think he deserved an inking! And for this one I used the tall tag die with the fishtail which came in the duo set with the other die I've been using.
I began by stamping and colouring the book on a die cut panel of white cardstock. This was then masked and I ink blended the background in a neutral shade and then blended through a woodgrain stencil with a shade of brown. I then stamped, coloured and die cut the book worm and adhered him onto the book. I stamped the sentiment and then die cut a second panel from green polka dot paper and adhered this on the reverse for a cleaner finish. I then added some gloss to his glasses.
I finished by adding some brown grosgrain ribbon through the slot and tied this with some co-ordinating green twine. Here is the reverse view...
