Crazy Cat Border Bookmark

This is a birthday card for one of my daughters.  It encompasses two of her loves (besides her family of course!).  She loves cats, and loves to read.

I used three Technique Junkie Stamps - Crazy Cat Border - http://techniquejunkies.com/crazy-cat-border/, one of the sayings in the Bookworms set - http://techniquejunkies.com/bookworms-set-of-6/ , and Random ABC background -  http://techniquejunkies.com/random-abcs/.

I created the background paper for both the first layer and the the book mark with Distress Oxide inks - http://techniquejunkies.com/12-pack-of-ranger-tim-holtz-distress-oxide-in-pads/  -  in the same manner as the Antique Glimmers technique. And these wonderful inks are eligible for the 10% off discount code on my sidebar. I used Twinkling H2Os and randomly colored in some of the cats on the bookmark and the pocket frame.

Since adhesives show through under vellum, I created a frame from card stock stamped with the Crazy Cat border stamp.  I adhered the vellum with my ATG adhesive, and attached it to the base card with the same adhesive.

I tied ribbons through the tag hole to pull the book mark out.  My daughter will love all of this!

Have a wonderful day -- and get inky!
