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~~

I had forgotten how easy these are to make and how nice they look once done.  I'm sure you could whip up a batch of these in time for Holiday giving.  Put them with books or with gift cards for books, makes a nice set.

This is for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, Got Ink?

I cut some chipboard style card stock 2" x 6" as the base.  Covered the back portion with a pretty little DP.  Cut another piece of white 110# card stock to the same size and that is what I stamped on.  Using several ink pads I sponged color to my liking, blending with each new color added.  Then in London Fog I stamped the pretty single flower from the Anemones stamp set available at Flourishes.   The sentiment, from the same set, was stamped in Tuxedo Black.  A pink enamel brad as the flower center, punched a hole in the top and added a deep pink eyelet, topped off with what I call my 'clown' ribbon.  Super easy, super quick. 

Still plenty of time to play in this Challenge, so grab some ink!

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate you doing so!
