For the challenge today, I decided to make a book mark.  I got some new stamps from Sweet Stamps at the Westminister Stamp Show last weekend, and decided to use them.  I used 4 stamps on my book mard today.  On the Front of my book mark, I used "Stuffed Duck", "Rain" and "Puddle".  I stamped Stuffed Duck onto Cryogen white Card stock and then stamped it again onto printer paper to create a mask.  I laid the mask on top of my image on the card stock and stamped the puddle using Klondike Blue Shades dye Ink.  I kept the mask over my Duck and stamped the Rain also using Klondike Blue Shades dye Ink several times so it looks like Stuffed Duck is in the rain....  I then colored Stuffed Duck with my Copics and the puddle too.  I then stamped "Under the Weather" sentiment onto another piece of Cryogen White Card Stock in black ink.  I used my Cheery Lynn Inverted Scalloped Coved Rectangle Stacker dies to cut out my colored Stuffed Duck and my sentiment.  I traced around the die to get my mat's.  I then layered them together and attached a piece of ribbon between my blue layers.

Here is a peek at the back of my Book Mark:

When I was sick and in the hospital 2yrs ago for emergency surgery, my sister brought me some books to read while I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery.  So I thought this would be a great thing to give with a book or magazine to someone who is sick.  It sure would cheer them up !!!!
