bookmark development

I did like the idea of having bits coming our of the bookmark, but need them to be less tearable than my earlier designs, I saw these bookmarks:

I like how there is a whole scene going on below the bit sticking out of the book, it creates more of a narrative. So I have tried to develop my designs more like that:

This way the bookmarks are much less flimsy, and I plan to possibly have the school tie hanging from the bottom. I quite like these compositions - although I think there would need to be more of a limited colour palette.
