A bookmark

I have made a bookmark as part of my Mum's birthday present, and it covers the following challenges:
Totally Papercrafts - sketch
A Spoonfull of Sugar - bookmark
Katharina's Whiff of Joy Guest Design call.
I watercoloured Melinda using my distress inks and cut her out. The pink cardstock is cuttlebugged with the writing embossing folder, and inked over the top. I made paper beads using the dp.

Sorry this is a short post, the girls have dental appointments this afternoon, so its teeth cleaning and off we go.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Whiff of Joy Melinda reading book
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Porcelin
Embellishments: ribbon and button from stash

That is gorgeous!!! I always think of bookmarks as long strips of card but I guess they don't have to be do they?
