Very nice! I like the colours and the fibres on these bookmarks. They would be a treat to find in the middle of a good book.
Since you asked for feedback, I would suggest adding a mat to the focal image. For example, a coordinating green or brown under the sunflower. This makes the focal image really stand out and visually separates it from the background. It just adds an extra touch. I have a few points about ways to make a background pattern. If you are going for a random background pattern, try stamping in triangles. In other words, stamp one, then another one in another spot, and then a third that would make a triangle with the first two if you connected them. If you are going for a linear pattern, I find it helps to use a stamp aligning tool, like a Stamp-a-majig. In either case, it's a good idea to stamp some images partially off the edges (scrap paper underneath will catch the extra ink).
