This is only the top half of the bookmark, just in case the swapee is looking...I want there to still be an element of suprize!! ha haa I put the orange leather through the Big Shot and although it was hard work turning the handle, it cut out a dream. The rest I cut with my sewing scissors! I've also used a We R Memory Keepers grommet as the flower centre, I love these cuties!! :)
