My stamps came wrapped and sealed with this little crochet heart so I thought it was a shame not to use it. I keep meaning to buy a bookmark die, but for the time being I just use a tag die and partially cut it and then shimmy it down and cut again. (Don't know if that makes any sense or not!)
Coloured with watercolour pencils. I added sparkle to the bird's wings on the card, but didn't add any to the bookmark in case it would come off on a book's pages.
- Layout from Your Next Stamp #97
- Addicted to Stamps #307 - make your mark
- Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
- As You Like It - favourite non card project - I like to make bookmarks as extra wee gifties to put in with the card
I'd some pink watercolour left on a bit of acetate, so I added some water and squished my card base into it to make my background. A few extra pink and blue splatters to finish.
My little girl and dog are popped up on foam pads.
Gummiapan flower die; Lawn Fawn clouds and can't remember fence maker.
- My layout was based on the sketch at Freshly Made #353, but I've maybe got a bit carried away and lost it!
- Tuesday Throwdown #407 - splatter it
- Die Cuttin Divas #384 - what makes you happy? .... why, new stamps of course!!

Both your cards are happy cards--cute images, wonderful colors and great layouts. I really love them both. Those colorful birds just make me want to start tweeting myself (and not on Twitter, either!). Hope you're having a great weekend.
Gorgeous cards hun. I love the colours on you little birds. Love Dawn x
Two gorgeous cards. I love the birds and great idea to make the bookmark that way x
How sweet! I have never thought of leaving shimmer on my book from a bookmark- lesson learned! Great and fun card! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Throwdown!!!
Your two cards are perfect takes on the sketches, Lynne! They are both adorable and colored beautifully! And I love how you used a tag and adjusted it accordingly to make a sweet birdie bookmark for that cool crocheted heart!! Hugs, Darnell

How did I miss these!! Love the birdies and what a brilliant way to use that darling crochet heart. The little girl and her dog are adorable and the pretty inky background looks fab, rather like the sky here in Dorset right now actually xx
