A Seagull on the Lookout!

 Morning and time for the midway inspiration post for the ATG/Animals/Birds challenge at 

Stamping Sensations.I made a bookmark using a stamp from Crafty Individuals.I stamped the image on an offcut of a premade background,then re-stamped the seagull onto p.paper and paper pieced the image,coloured the sign with a promarker-added ribbon and done.

What a great bookmark, Carol! To me, your choice of colors and all the stamped elements, it feels like I'm on one of those exploratory voyages of the 1700-1800s - new seagull life, and "charting" formulas of the day. Really great bookmark! hugs, de
