I made these for a Nature Challenge with an optional twist of vintage on the Gecko Galz Papercrafting Challenge group on Facebook and I am also entering the Gecko Galz blog May Customer Challenge called Vintage Botanicals.
The background paper and the images are all from the Gecko Galz
To start I cut brown kraft card to the size I wanted. I papered each bookmark using different paper designs that I tore into random pieces and glued these onto each bookmark. Then I resized an array of different collage sheets in a program on my computer and then printed them out, I wanted the images to be small enough for me to cut each image out to make a collage on each bookmark.
I made each bookmark in its own colour scheme. When I had fussy the images out I arranged them on each bookmark so that there was no focal point as when finished I wanted to make each one interesting to look at. Finally, I added lace to each bookmark and a lace tab at the top of each one
I want to take part in
