Bedtime Reading

I really loved this huge tag when I used it last time, so when I saw the Saturated Canary bookmark challenge, I knew immediately what I wanted to make.  I also wanted a sleepy image since bedtime  reading is a great way to wind down from the day.  So here's my bookmark using Books and Bedhead from Krista's new shop.


And just to show you how big the tag template actually is, here it is on one of my paperbacks. I tried desperately to keep the design simple so that there were not too many layers (after all I need the book to actually close), but I couldn't resist adding a couple of flowers and a huge bow, but the bow can stick out the top of the book.





Check out some of my cards available to buy on my eBay listings

Card Recipe:
  • Image - Books and Bedhead by Saturated Canary
  • Papers - Dovecraft First Edition (I think!)
  • Colouring - Promarkers, Copics, Sakura Stardust Gel pens
  • From my stash -  Pearls, Glossy Accents, Ribbon, flowers
I've been inspired by:
Happy crafting.
