This thursday...


The theme at this thursday it's all about is "the golden rule" which means you have to create something that is either beautiful or useful. I wouldn't be so bold as to claim that anything I make is beautiful, so I'm entering something useful. A bookmark!
This is a "chick lit" themed book mark for a good friend who had to leave my chick lit reading group as she is moving away. so this was part of a gift for her.
I have used an old book page, as well as the main image I have used a torn stamp, a floral swirl and dot flowers, all from Inka. I have covered the front in clear film so that it will be a bit longer lasting.
