Leonardo da Vinci

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our challenge at

"The Little Things" 

The theme is: Famous People

The challenge blog focus on small card formats, 

such as ATCs, tags, Memorydex cards, Mini Moo cards, bookmarks etc.

This time I made a bookmark—inspired by Leonardo da Vinci.

First, I stamped Leonardo's portrait and his drawing onto a sheet of lightly stamped scrap paper, 

and then tore them along the outlines. 

Next, I stamped the wings onto gold-colored vellum and the mechanism onto paper, 

colored them, and cut them out. 

  

I lightly enhanced the colors of the illustration and Leonardo's face with Wild Honey (Distress Oxide). 

Glued everything onto the bookmark, a scrap of gel print 

onto which I had previously stamped a few numbers and symbols at the top.

As a final touch, I stamped and heat-embossed Leonardo’s name 

and attached a string to the bookmark.

From which famous person would you draw inspiration?
