Bookmark Card

When I first saw the latest sketch over at Twisted Cards:

I knew what I'd do, and I only hoped I'd get to it before time ran out. :) I DID!  Lookie:

 I saw the bookmark opportunity, and the horizontal elements were the perfect holder!  The yellow paper I used for the background and the strip of green were remnants from another card that failed me. The bookmark is from the same pack of papers: Basic Grey Indie Bloom.

As an added bonus, I broke open my pack of Recollections tulle flowers and used two of them. I colored the center pearls with my R05 Copic marker. They needed to be red.

Here's what the card looks like with the bookmark removed:

It stands alone! The flourish is an (until now) uninked Hero Arts stamp -- Fabulous Flourish. This qualifies this card as a last-minute entry to the Dust 'Em Off challenge over at A Blog Named Hero.

Oh, the bookmark is a PTI die.

So how fun is this for the recipient? A card, a bookmark, AND a reminder on the bookmark that the sender adores you. I think that's pretty perfect. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
