Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Bookmark with Alcohol Ink Panels

Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week's theme is alcohol inks and/or drinks.  I made a bookmark using panels I colored with alcohol ink.


I started by dripping different colors of alcohol ink onto yupo paper.


Next I cut up my panel using scissors and a circle punch.


Onto the bookmark base!  I cut a tag out of Distress Kraft Heavystock, then cut off the vertical sides of the tag to create a bookmark shape.  I stenciled some dots on it using acrylic paint and Tim Holtz's Dotted stencil.


I used a sewing machine to attach my alcohol ink panels to my bookmark.


I wanted some text imagery, so I stamped some text designs onto paper using Tim Holtz's School Desk stamp set.  I cut the stamped paper into circle shapes and glued them to my bookmark.  I added some other pops of colors with acrylic paint (including some bright pink dots that I painted onto deli paper) and typed out the "Read more" sentiment on a typewriter and added that on.  I sewed some fabric scraps to the top and this bookmark was done.


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
