Hello everyone and welcome. Sorry for the boring post title but I could not think of anything better and what I am showing are indeed three bookmarks...
I had been admiring the lovely images from
Nicecrane Design on my travels through blogland for a while now and a couple of days ago decided to order some. And then the lovely Ignacio even send me some more free ones, so of course I had to start making things. To make these I played with several of his sheets and put them together in Photoshop Elements. I printed them out and then came the fun of inking colouring and embellishing. I also ran parts of them through a Tim Holtz embossing folder for added texture.
These two were put together with the help of the Talking Clock pack and the Vintage Bookmark factory. The images were coloured already, I just blended them in and inked around them with various colours of Distress Inks.
The picture in this one came in Black and White and I coloured it with Distress Markers and Inks.
Well, hope you like them, and if you don't know
Nicecrane Designs, check it out, - there is so much choice and they are really reasonably priced too.

ReplyDeleteHold da op hvor er de flotte, så gennemførte og i en dejlig vintage stil, jeg får da lyst til at lave nogle bogmærker, min mand læser meget, og bruger bare en stump pap som bogmærke, tak for ideen. knus morkaren.

Astrid, hello again. Just popped back to let you know about last year. My blogs and email and paypal were all compromised by a hacker last year so it wiped out all my Dezinaworld work. It really upset me, especially since i have two terminally ill parents to look after and i just did not have the energy to begin again rebuilding everything, Now i still have the same caring to do but I am feeling more positive and ready to rebuild Dezinaworld as a New blog :) thank you for adding to follow me again at the new one. x
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous these are!! Beautifully done as always ... and you know sometimes it takes me longer to think up a title than write the post!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that hasn't already been said by others? Amazingly beuatiful work as usual.
ReplyDeleteDie Lesezeichen sind wunderschön, Astrid, sie bestechen durch die schönen Prägungen und die wunderbaren süßen Kindermotive.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße.
Wooooow, sooooo beautifuuuuuul :)
