Never made a bookmark before but will definately make a few more (currently got 5 orders from my 15 yo son's mates lol).
Tilda is coloured with my watercolours and attached using 3D foam pads. The backing paper is hand-made - soaked in tea and a few coffee grains and I wrote the words when dry. The numbers - "1" and "2" are by Doodlebug. I made the little book from scraps of paper.

I have used High Hopes stamped Giraffe "Stretch" and used water-colours. The papers are Basic Grey "Caravan" and "Romany" together with scraps from stash. The "1" on the mini envelop is Doodlebug. The flower is my first attempt (another first) at crochet flowers (you can find the instructions on http://bevscrafts.blogspot.com - and she makes some lovely ones :) ). Inside the envelop is a food-plan for feeding the giraffe - lol.
