I love Autumn for two reasons: It's vegetable harvest season! I love my vegies. And, the coming of Autumn means that Winter is on the way. Winter is my favourite season. My bookmark is a little girl with vegetables harvested from her own garden.

Supplies
I decided I wanted to try a more durable bookmark material so I used Sizzix leather paper for this bookmark. The leather paper is a faux leather made from latex saturated paper.
The first thing I did was set up the stamps in the Misti, a stamp positioning tool that's simply amazing. I then stamped a image of the girl on some scrap typing paper.
I stamped the image on to the leather paper. Since the leather paper is textured, I could see spots which weren't stamped.
The beauty of the Misti, Since my stamps were still mounted on the door and the leather paper was held in the same spot, I could just ink up the stamp and re-stamp right over the first impression easily.
After fussy cutting out the image, I used removable adhesive on the typing paper to create a mask. This allows me to make a background while keeping the image clean.
With the mask covering the girl, Added strips to cover all but the outside edges. Then I ran the Versamark directly on the bookmark.
I added Antique Gold embossing powder and heat sealed it.
Using Distress Inks and the blending tool, I added Autumn colours to the background.
Taking off the mask reveals the girl and her box of veg still clean.
I dripped water over the background and then added on a bit more yellow and lighter orange.
I painted the girl with a waterbrush and Distress Inks before stamping the sentiment, still set up in the Misti, with Memento Rhubarb Stalk. I rounded the corners with a flourish using the Fiskars 3-in-1 punch. A bit of orange and yellow ribbon finished off the bookmark with a flair.
