Book Marks

Good Morning!

I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around Marcella's Challenge over at Power Poppy, Coloring Outside The Lines.....ooooh man, this is a tough one for me.....but I think I finally have come up with something.  These will also be entered into the Challenges at Simon Says Monday, Powder Power and Simon Says Wednesday, Gift It.

So here we go!

 
I used the Short Stacks and the Go Wild stamp sets from Power Poppy.  All sentiments and images embossed in Black Embossing Powder.  Then using Distress Inks in Fired Brick and Squeezed Lemonade I added my color all around.  Large Eyelet and Floss to complete the book mark.
 
 
 
 
This one uses the Potted Primrose stamp set by Power Poppy. Again images and sentiment embossed in Black Embossing Powder.  Distress inks in Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean.  Large Eyelet, Floss and Vellum to complete the book mark.
 
 
 
Using my water brush I also dropped water all over to lift some of the inks off, kind of love that look.
 
Tough Challenge, but I am glad I at least tried it!
 
Thanks for coming by.
 
Enjoy~~

  1. This challenge was a hard one for me too, until I read the part that said, "What ever that means for you." These tags are so cute and colorful, even though you didn't color inside the lines. Lol

  5. Yeah, I had a terrible time with that challenge. You have nailed it, though. LOVE your little creative bookmarks, especially the colorful one with the vellum overlay. I would never think to use vellum on a bookmark. I have dubbed you the Queen of bookmarks.....every single one is a little work of art!!

  6. Wonderful bookmarks and nice for slipping inside a card for a little extra gift. I love that you left portions of the design white. Awesome coloring outside of those areas.
