Anything but a Card

So long as you use a stamped image (real or digi) you can create anything you like except a card of course :)
I decided to make a bookmark

Here it is

I have used digi stamp Grim Reaper Tombstone from the Build a Graveyard set by Smeared Ink. As soon as I saw this image I new I wanted to make a bookmark with him. I've coloured him with promarkers and added him to plain black card along with a little bling and attached a chain tassel.

Hi Everyone and Welcome to a new month long challenge at Quoth The Raven, Nevermore and your quest this month is Anything Poes, you are to create...........................well, anything you like really.

PROVIDING it is Edar Allan Poe related!

I made this card whilst visiting my dear friend Black Dragon.  She did try to teach me to make my own flowers, but that didn't go well, so I bought these ones from her local craft shop.  BD made this gorgeous tassel and kindly gave it to me to use on this card.  She did, however, successfully teach me how to make my own tassels!  

Thanks BD. x
