Krafty Chicks challenge #735 - All Occasions

Good morning lovely friends.  I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far.  It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and it's Week 4, Lori is our hostess, and our theme as always is 'All Occasions'.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us. 

I've recently gotten back into reading again after many years of not picking up a book so I decided I needed a bookmark to keep my place.  It ended up more of a tag shape but it still works!  

Here is my bookmark:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the back:

I began by stamping the gorgeous image onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured it with Promarkers.  I also stamped a sentiment above the image in black ink.  I trimmed it out using my paper trimmer and lightly inked the edges.  I cut another white layer slightly larger and adhered them together with double sided tape; again inking the edges.  I was going to use this as my bookmark but it didn't seem big enough so I found a piece of patterned paper that matched my colours perfectly and cut that into a tag shape, again using my paper trimmer and also inked the edges.  I added a strip of the paper to the bottom third of the back of the tag and also stamped another sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I dusted off my crop-a-dile and made a hole at the top of my tag/bookmark to thread through some coordinating twine.  I'm really happy with how this turned out and it is perfect for keeping my page.  I hope you like it too.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Aud Sentiments challenge - tags and/or holidays + sentiment
