Watch This Bookmark

When I was playing with my new set of Anita Jeram stamps last week (making this set of cards), I couldn't resist combining a couple of the dog images to make this simple bookmark. The dog at the bottom has a ball balancing on his nose, so I started by covering that with some masking tape before inking the stamp. I then removed the tape, then stamped him on to a snippet of kraft card. I use my stamping platform to position the second dog so that he is balancing on the nose of the other dog, then coloured the images using watercolour pencils.
