You Can't Get a Man with a Gun - Bookmark

I'm sending a book to a friend for her birthday, so I decided to make a bookmark to coordinate with her card, which you can see here.  This was my third attempt at this bookmark and I was ready to give up, let me tell you!  But the third time was the charm and I'm happy with how it turned out.

For the background, I started by adding some vintage text scraps to a piece of Cosmo Cricket patterned paper.  I then dry-brushed some warm white acrylic paint and over-stamped a crackle background.  My cowgirl from Artistic Outpost was stamped on vanilla cardstock, colored with pencils, and trimmed closely before being adhered.  The sentiment (also from Artistic Outpost) was stamped on the margin of an old piece of sheet music.  Final touches include some charcoal pencil outlining, white acrylic paint stenciled through punchinella, and a black acrylic border.  After spraying the bookmark with acrylic sealer, I reinforced the back with a piece of Bazzill cardstock and added the large eyelet and ribbon at the top.  This bookmark measures 2.5 x 5.5 inches.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous day.
