"Vacation" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme and there's nothing that I like better than relaxing on the beach with a good book in hand! In honor of that past-time, I made a bookmark.
Next I covered some sketch paper with watered-down acrylic paint and Infusions color stain. Once that dried, I doodled on it with Dina Wakley's Scribble Sticks, then activated some of the scribbles with water on a brush.
I tore my collage into scraps and glued those to my bookmark, along with some of Dina Wakley's Collage Words tissue paper stuff. I did some more blending with white paint and then typed the "Read more" sentiment on a typewriter, cut it out and glued it on.
I cut a scallop shape out of Simple Stories' Flea Market patterned paper and glued that to the side. I finished off my bookmark by outlining the edges with a black pen and adding strips of fabric to the top.
