Tickled Pink Challenges - Off the Scrap Desk

Hey everyone! Well it's only one more sleep until I head off to the NEC and I can't wait! Before I go I want to share a couple of bookmarks I made recently (as in TODAY!!, LOL) for the Tickled Pink blog challenge, which is to use something not intended for crafting and Tickled Pink Facebook challenge, which is to make a corner bookmark. I combined the 2 challenges but in the interest of fairness I made 2 - a His 'n' Hers, lol.  :)

The first one is girly and pink! 

I used Fairy Kira digi, which I printed out really small. It was a great idea at the time, but in hindsight, it wasn't my brightest of moments!! lol. I was cross-eyed trying to colour her in, ha! Once I did manage to get it done I added star dust stickles to her wings.

My papers are Prima's Annalee and I've inked them with Victorian Velvet distress ink.  To embellish I've used a Tim Holtz adage tag, Doodlebug's Bubblegum alphas, Crafting Expressions bead, some organza ribbon, a 2 tone rose and a charm I bought at the NEC last November. The border has been done using a MS punch

Challenges -

For this next bookmark I went more grungy and I  used Valentine Luca - printed out at less than 3" tall...

My papers are a mix of Basic Grey and Graphic 45. The print paper is from my kids school newsletter - I've scrunched it up, inked it and stapled it onto the background paper.

To finish off I used some Tim Holtz metal, pearls and packaging twine.
