The challenge from Crafty Ann this fortnight is 'Hide and Seek'. My 'hide' is on the inside. I've used and 8 x 8 card and part of another one to make a second page (the insert will go behind this. I wanted to make a bookmark for an avid reader but it was too big to go in a pocket on the outside - so I started from the inside and work my way backwards with this one. The image on the tag is a Clarity stamp and the moon and branches Stampscapes. The papers are from a Graphicus Guild pack and fortunately I had two the same so I had enough for inside and the front.
The image of the front is an EI image which I had inked some time ago - so can't remember the colour combination but it seemed to go with this bp.The swirls are from a Sissix die. Not sure if I'll be putting a sentiment of the front somewhere - it's a BIG birthday (80) so it might be just as well to keep that greeting for the insert.
Thanks very much for visiting today.Hope you're all enjoying the warm weather.

Gorgeous colours Beryl, and what a great idea the "hidden" element is. The papers and images are wonderful - I just remembered that I have lots of Graphicus Guild papers too - must get them out and use them!
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Gorgeous! Love all the stamping, did you get inky fingers again lol? Like how you hid the gorgeous book mark inside. What a gorgeous scene you have created, love the whole thing and I am sure the recipient will really appreciate it. Weather gorgeous here, just back from a barbecue at my son's house. Have a chest infection though so plenty of coughing lol.
Gorgeous Beryl, love the papers too. Hugs x
