Loved the colours this week at Color Throwdown and the sketch from Freshly Made, perfect for a Bookmark Card to encourage my youngest to complete his Reading Challenge - he's only got one or two books to go, but every bit of encouragement helps!! I designed the card so that the bookmark/tag tucks in behind the button, and can be easily removed as needed. I added paper to the back of the middle section of the Basic Grey flourish sticker so it would not stick to the bookmark.
Papers are a combination of Basic Grey, Echo Park, Crate Paper and Jenni Bowlin, stamped with The Alley Way Stamps funky little Party Animal giraffe, with the sentiment made using Alphabet Soup, Hey Cupcake and Party Animal, and punched with EK Success scalloped border. Buttons are Fancy Pants Off to School and a Prima heart button.
Also playing along at:
Raise the Bar - Back to School
Hope you have the opportunity to enjoy a long read soon!
My oldest just told me yesterday that since he reached the halfway prize he was done with the reading challenge...nice try, buddy! I love the punny sentiment (is it a sentiment on a bookmark? lol) and the fun layered button & flourish :)
