At Christmas I gave my co-workers handmade gifts leading up to Christmas. Sort of an Advent Calendar. I'm the first one in the office, so I placed each new gift by their keyboards. It warmed my soul to see the surprise on their faces. My love language is giving gifts.
To create my bookmarks, I created a lot of gelliprints with my gelliplate, using a variety of colours. I love to mix 2 to 3 colours on each print. The colour comes from using acrylic paints. Once the paint was completely dry, I stamped out script and weathered splotches. Some of the bookmarks were sewn to make it shabby chic. Flower dies were cut. I used a set that had layers to give it a 3D feel.
To protect my work I used cellophane bookmark holders from Crystal Clear Bags in Canada (I'm not an affiliate).

Your bookmarks are absolutely lovely. The colors are gorgeous, and those sweet little daisies make them even more special. You are such a kind, thoughtful person.
A brand‑new ATC/Coin Swap is sailing in for June, and our theme is "The Sea". Hope you’ll dive in and join the fun! All the details are waiting for you here.
