Clearly Besotted May Teasers Day 1

Hi everyone! How are you? Lovely to have you back with me for another 5 days of projects using the fab new sets from Clearly Besotted. All six sets will be available on May 1st. This month there’s a definite theme- and I’m sure you’ll work it out pretty soon.

Today’s set is called ‘Tall Tales’ and you can either use one of the main images as a corner and there are so many characters that can sit atop the stacks of books.

Just a bookmark? Well it’s so useful if you’re a reader like me or bookmarks make such practical gifts. The way that the stamp is designed, it’s very easy to stamp twice and then stack on top of each other to make an even higher stack of books.

Having a bookmark having a ‘tail’ is very useful- so I added an eyelet (anyone still have a stack of those?!!) and some ribbon.

You can see the sparkle courtesy of a white gel pen and a few doodles. You might wonder why there’s a winged animal holding an icecream- but it’s a magical fictional scene- and who wouldn’t want to eat an icecream whilst brandishing sparkly wings?!

You might think that having a character added to the bookmark using foam pads would get in the way of closing a book. But I’ve used it as a stopper so it won’t slip down into the book making it quicker to find your place. I chose some worded paper to fit in with the book theme.

Well it’s time to head to see some more inspiration.

It’s time to visit to my amazing teamie Michelle, its good to have her back as we missed her last month. We’ve also got our lovely guests again…  Kitty, Alberto and Francine.

Please also visit Clearly Besotted either on their Facebook page or Instagram account.

Hope to see you here again tomorrow.. same time, same place 😉
