I made these today for the CBC bookmark swap and they also fit the CBC Crew Challenge Pens, pencils and paint.

Ink: white stazon
Pens/pencils: Prisma pencils, copper pen and Sakura gelly roll glitter pens
Materials: black card, gold eyelet, black ribbon, tube cloisonné beads, laminate
Stamps: Oriental bookmark stamps from Graphicus

Just stamp the bookmarks in white (on black card) and colour the white parts with Prismas and pens. use a water brush to lightly brush a glittery effect over parts (sakura pens scribbled onto paper and pick up the glitter using water brush) then laminate, punch a whole for eyelet, add ribbon and beads.

I made a few mistakes with this one. I tried to spray gold webbing spray onto metal but it didn’t stick so I then sprayed the metal with uhu glue first and then the gold webbing and this worked a bit better.

Inks and colours: pesto spray, gold webbing spray, red and green pens for glass
Stamp: Celtic swirls (Heritage Rubber stamp co.)
Materials: silver coloured metal, red/copper wire, green beads, gold and silver micro beads, green/brown fluffy fibre
