Branching Bookmark
Happy Sunday! I am a few days late on Lee's bookmark challenge, but I don't think I've ever made one of these corner bookmarks before and I realized how simply you could make one with the square frame from "Branching Out"! I stamped the frame on Basic Grey Curio DP with Frayed Burlap distressing ink and then added the sentiment from the coordinating "The Vine" set using Memento Tuxedo Black. Cardstock is Pure Luxury Black Onyx. The distressed pieces in the Basic Grey packs have a ready made vintage look, but you can add lots of texture to any paper with this stamped frame sponging and layering inks or watermarking images.

I like that it's a full square, rather than triangle! Beautiful bookmark, Melanie, amazing stamps - so glad you shared with us!

ReplyDeletebravo super
ReplyDeleteThis is very elegant. I've made corner bookmarks before, but yeah, only triangular. This gives more room for stamping space.
ReplyDeleteShala

ReplyDeleteThis makes a practical gift too. Love the idea, Melanie!!
