Here are the Autumn and Spring pocket pages with their holes in, ready for binding...

So these are the completed pockets. As you can see I have added some more stamping and aging, to tie everything together.

Now I really just want to finish this project! The internal pages are made by folding a piece of A4 card in half, then measuring down from the top to fit the covers. the remainder of the card is folded up, then a corner is folded back down. And there are your pockets. I coloured each one using Distress inks again, adding Milled Lavender for the Winter pocket. I had to use Kaleidocolor for Summer, as I don't have a yellowy Distress. I used the same Elusive Images stamp as a background this time.

Zutter Bookmark Folder project

And here are the covers. Mounted onto extra thick card that has had the edges inked in brown Stazon. I also edged the panels in gold pen before mounting them. I made the word "Bookmark" by running a strip of gold, textured paper through my Dymo, the used the same Distress Inks to darken it down a bit. Backed with a sliver of brown card, and hey presto!
I'm really glad I started again with this one, I'm liking it much more now!

Now, using the same inks again, I inked up the stamp using both pads. I inked the orange first, then carefully added the green. I stamped the image twice for each panel. I love stamping with Distress Inks, you get a lovely, soft watercolour effect.
The stamp is another from Elusive Images.

Bookmark Folder Project

As promised, here is the reborn Bookmark folder project. I started by making my own background paper. Marmalade and Peeled Paint Distress Inks were swooshed onto acetate, spritzed with water, then glosy card laid over and pressed down in a circular motion. I then stamped the large script using the same inks, stamping off on paper first to lighten it. I then added the stylised leaves, again the same inks, stamped off on paper first, though not as much as for the script Stamp. I then cut out two panels from this paper.

Both stamps are Elusive Images

Change of Heart

I have decided to start again with the bookmark book, the covers just weren't good enough! Watch this space, the whole project is coming soon....
