CFC50 - Bookmark

One of my recent purchases from Papertrey Ink included the All Booked Up set and bookmark die.  So, when the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge # 50 was to create a project with trees or flowers, I decided to make a bookmark using one of the stamps in the set.


See that sewing! Holy cow!!  When I die cut the bookmark, it still felt flimsy to me, so I cut a second one and didn't just want to glue the pieces together, so I went to the sewing machine.  It's sort of even on both sides!!  

I used PTI polkadots stamped with Versamark for the background and masked off the sentiment that I heat embossed in white.   I heat embossed the focal image in green ink with clear powder, then used some Distress Inks for shading.  Here's a close up:


I'm happy with the result, but in all honestly, I really thought the bookmark die was going to be bigger - both in length and width.  It's good for a paperback book, but would of liked it a little bigger for hardcover books. Oh well!  I could still make my own bookmark and use the stamps for the accents.

You have until Wednesday night to play along with the tree/flower challenge!


Thanks for your visit!
