Message in a Bottle Bookmark

 Morning and time for the mid month inspiration for the ATG/Mood board option challenge at

 Stamping Sensations.

For something different I made a bookmark using a used Woodware stamp set bought from a FB selling page.I smooshed the cardstock with oxide inks-stamped the rolled up message then over stamped with the bottle adding glossy accents,stamped the verse above and the bubbles and shells randomly,coloured with promarkers.On the reverse I stamped the rolled up message three times, more bubbles and shells after smooshing the cardstock with more oxide inks,glossy accentss added to the bubbles,ribbon and twine from srash and slipped into a PVC bookmark sleeve which I bought a pack of last year and thought it was about time I used them so made another one too lol.
