Well, regulars here know that one of the things I love doing is mixed media projects, altered canvasses etc. But, every now and so often I also love to play with papers, embellies and stamps, and here is one of those kind of projects...
The papers are from Pion Design Vintage Garden collection, I won this collection a while back, and this project was perfect for some of the 6 x 6 papers.
Here they are one by one, first the holders:
And here are the bookmarks themselves, the only embellishment here is stamping as I wanted them flat so they easily fit in their holders and into a book of course.

Astrid...these bookmarks are absolutely gorgeous! Who would not love to get one of these as a gift? I love those Pion papers, too. Their soft colors and images are to die for. Unfortunately, no place around where I live carries them.
I love the idea of placing the bookmarks in such a decorative little holder. I'm sure anything you saw on Pinterest doesn't compare to yours! <3 Candy

These are so pretty Astrid. I don't know why I never think of making bookmarks because I love using them myself as I hate to see turned down corners. Love your beautiful vintage look as always.

Oh I love those papers Astrid and how you used them... what a fancy book mark .. I'd be too busy looking at the bookmark and not reading .. they are all lovely.
Die Lesezeichen sind ganz bezaubernd und wunderschön gestaltet.
