Winter Bookmarks

There is something about handmade bookmarks that when you tuck them in a book it makes it that much better. Even when I drop some books off at those little free libraries I like to tuck in the odd one for who ever reads my book next and I hope they like both 

Plus this is a great way to use up my bits of scraps

It's been double embossed once the words then gone over it with a clear embossing that give it a slightly blurred effect that looks really great almost a little bit like a watercolour
