Now anyone who stops by my blog knows that distressed, grunge or this mixed media stuff is just something I have a hard time with. I mean a clean and simple kinda girl just can't see her way through all the stuff... ha! However today using So Distressed I have created for myself personally a new bookmark. And I LOVE it! I stamped first in a pink ink the diamond shaped design in the set. Then using the circles in the set a creamy caramel ink over the top. I even then added some very very light yellowish of the smaller splashes in the set. My serenity prayer is from Anemones that I stamped onto the once Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink. Layered this panel onto some Color Made Easy Poppy and Rich Brown card stock. Used some of the Color Made Easy Poppy Baby Pink ribbon and some chocolate sheer ribbon that is tied off with a wooden button twine combo. I even distresed the edges and once corner of the bookmark. A little bit of stickles to the grundy background and voila! See I can do grundge... Well sorta! ha ha

Wow! You really fooled me because this bookmark makes you look like a total pro at distressed/grunge/mixed media. Like you, I am a clean and simple kinda gal too. I really appreciate how you stepped out of the box to make this gorgeous bookmark because you have inspired me to step out of the box and try something like this now too. Thanks for sharing! Karen.

Lol...girl, this is a grunge beauty! You did great! Love the corners, and no one can tie up a purdy bow like you!
