Grunge Bookmark

Check out my Manly Monday post HERE


For my second bookmark for Mark's Finest Papers, I used chalk ink by Colorbox on a background stamp by Stampin Up (canvas) for the bottom portion of the card. I was going for a grunge look with this stamp. The circle stamps are by Papertrey Ink and I used ink by Close to My Heart and Stampin Up. The small letter stamps are by Stampin Up. The tassel was in my stash from many years ago. I set an eyelet at the top and strung the tassel through it. 

Manly Monday

For this week's post I have a bookmark to show you. I made it for the challenge at Mark's Finest papers. My nephew has been asking me to make him a bookmark and so this challenge was the perfect kick in the behind I needed. 

For this bookmark I heat embossed the music instruments stamps by Stampibilities with Versa Mark ink and black Stampendous embossing powder. Then I used blue distress ink to change it's color. The circle at the bottom right reminded me of the inside of a speaker. The stamp is by Papertrey Ink with ink by Ranger. The PJB (his initials) stamps are by Stampin Up with ink by Close to My Heart.

My card for this week is for the upcoming holiday Father's Day. The patterned paper is by DCWV Guy Stack. I inked the edges with Ranger distress ink and an ink blending tool. The brads are by The Paper Studio and the burlap is from my stash. I used foam adhesive on the title. A very easy card for the fix it kind of guy in our lives.
