I made a bookmark/tag - for the Tuesday Teapot Challenge - This week, it is to be about flowers, butterflies and Biblical verse - and if we choose - we will send our creations to Brenda - who was involved in a serious car accident and could use some cheer and support as she slowly recooperates!
First I stamped the flowers and leaves on my shipping tag, then I used 3 Ranger Distress stains to color different areas of the tag - Forest Moss, Weathered Wood and Worn Lipstick. I dried it with my hot gun and then spritzed the tag with my Mini Mister that had water and Gold Perfect Pearls mixed in it. The tag really shimmers in real life - but it doesn't show in my picture :(
I layered the tag onto black card stock cut to fit. I stamped my Proverb on white and punched it with a heart adding a little punched butterfly to the bottom. Then I looped some coordinating wrinkled seam tape through the hole.
My flowers and leaves are from Waltzingmouse and the Proverb is from Stampendous.

Julia, a terrific idea to make a bookmark since Brenda, in her recovery, might have time to read......and a reader can always use a bookmark! Yours is lovely with its floral theme and pretty colors.
