Beautiful World - Bookmarks
If you just happened on the blog hop today because you're a regular reader of my blog, and you'd like to view the entire hop, you can start back at the Flourishes Blog - you'll find a full list of participants there, and all the details you need. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from Naomi's Blog, you're doing just fine.
This month our theme is the Beauty of Bookmarks! I used the large image from the Gerber Daisies set for both of my bookmarks - I made 2 different styles... just wanted to see how a corner bookmark would come out! The images on both bookmarks are stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored with reinkers (green background) and Inktense pencils, then embossed with a textile folder.
For the inside structure of the corner bookmark, I started with a rectangle of cardstock 1.75" x 3.5" - I scored it down the middle, then from the corners on one side of the rectangle to the center scoreline, then folded in on the diagonals. I didn't like the corners of the triangle sticking out from behind the heart shape, so I cut them off.
The sentiment is a partial image from the Lenten Rose set. I love that little reminder to 'be still' - it's been especially appropriate lately!
I used a fishtail shape for my second bookmark, keeping the color scheme the same.
This sentiment is from the Orchids set.

Your bookmarks are fabulous, and I love the little "Be Still" sentiment. My daughter is having knee surgery on Monday, so this bookmark along with a good book will remind and encourage her to rest. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful bookmarks. I especially love the color combination. Your eye for detail is amazing. The button with the "stitch" and the tiny sentiment are wonderful finishing touches!
