When I was working on the Springtime
in Paris altered book in the previous post, I decided to make some
bookmarks. I started by cutting out the
bookmark shape in heavy chipboard.
To frame the Eiffel Tower I cut apart a black doily frame and use Gilders Paste to accent the raised areas.
Just like I do with my ATCs, I
went off the edge of the bookmark with the image of the Victorian lady.
The fringe
at the bottom is black tulle. On the
Dresden banner I applied a piece of the French Floral Overlays
Collage Sheet printed on vellum. You’ll
be seeing a lot more pieces from me using that collage sheet in all kinds of
different ways.
NICE work. The last one is my fave!
ReplyDeleteI love these ...I must try and make some, I admire the vintage look! xoDebi
ReplyDeleteThese are just wonderful. Even though I read with my I-pad, I would place them in 'special' coffee table books. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteso fabulous!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you will actually use them, Laura? They are precious -- almost too pretty to use!

You are so creative with these - and SO BRAVE! It would have been very difficult for me to cut the Black Dresden Doily Frame into pieces to utilize it! Stepping out of that comfort zone! Where, oh where did you obtain the bike Dresden? I REALLY NEED that to make something for my hubby!!!
