Bookmark

I did a little crafting this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks and thought I would enter a few challenges with this bookmark I have made for the challenge at Lovely Hanglar Only. The image is, of course, a Hanglar image which I have coloured with Copics cut out and mounted onto a piece of card. The sides were made using a Martha Steward edge punch, I punched some small flowers and added adhesive stones in the middle and finished with a heart charm on some jump rings. I am also entering this for the following challenges:

Good Morning, my card today matches the weather - snow, snow, snow, hope you are all managing to keep warm and safe in this weather.

My card is made using a drawing of the Eiffel Tower I got from a website, and edged with distress ink, I distressed the edges of the paper which is by Magnolia as is the large rose and the smaller ones are from my stash. I finished with ribbon and a heart punched with a Martha Stewart punch.
