lovely hAnglars only GDT

OMG I am so dizzy - I forgot to post this one. I won the challenge at the lovely hAnglars only a couple of weeks ago and got to be GDT for challenges 14 & 15 -WHOOHOO - I can't tell you honoured, thrilled and excited I was - so how come I forgot to post my DT card - we're hurtling towards Christmas so quickly I just can't keep up.

This challenge is to make a bookmark, a nice little Christmas extra present for someone. 

I chose the images from the Gingerbread set, they are coloured with distress inks and cut out and layered on a Spellbinders label. I've made a double ended bookmark and at the other end I used the gingerbread basket, which I cut out by hand. The edges are all finished with a gold calligraphy pen.

I also made the bookmark double sided and this is the reverse side with the little boy and a place on which to write a message when I know who the recipient is.

I sandwiched a ribbon in between the layers and stitched a bow on the front , I then had to find something to fasten to the back to cover the stitching - I never seem to make life easy for myself. I managed to attach the gorgeous little wooden button (coloured with Copics) which I picked up at the NEC.

Right I'll go away now and see what I can forget next LOL.
