STEP BY STEP PROCESS

Step 1: Cut the foam lunch box until you have a plain surface without edges.

Step 2: Use a pencil to draw your design in the foam lunch box.

Step 3: Load black paint on half of your Jane Davenport x Gelli Arts® plate.
Step 4: Stamp your foam plate design on the painted side of the gel plate, then stamp it on the blank side of the plate.
Step 5: Pull your print with white paper. Make 2 or 3 prints to find your favorite prints.
Step 6: Cut your favorite prints to the size of a bookmark.
7. Draw three circles on top of each skull with different colors. I use Dina Wakley scribble sticks and Posca markers to make a floral diadem. 
Step 8: Add a pearl shape in each flower with Perfect Pearls. 
Step 9: Cut cardstock in a contrasting color that is a little bit bigger than your bookmark.
Step 10: Make a hole in the top part of the bookmark with the crop-a-dile. 
Step 11: Add some sentiments to your work with Tim holtz stickers (Occasions) and Studio Light washi tape. I add some sari ribbon to make the words pop. 
Step 12: Stitch around the bookmark with stitching machine.
Step 13: Now you need to decide if you want to add black tulle or not! If you add it, you need to stitch around the bookmark again.
Step 14: Next, make another hole on the top of the bookmark and add an eyelet. Then knot a sari ribbon on top. 
Step 15: Glue a Halloween wood embellishment on top of it with glue gun.
Step 16: Make some splatter with paint markers!
