I made my own Decorator Paper by stamping a background using an older stamp set by SU! Fabulous Fruits, I think. Then I spritzed with the marker and an color spritzer tool . I used Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant inks. Then I used the Su! scalloped tag punch to punch both the stamped paper and the mauve. I glued the mauve to the stamped paper together to make two layers. I also used the corner punch on the bottoms of the book mark.
On the back of the bookmark will be our verse and church name. Added ribbon for a finishing touch.
Thanks for looking.

A labour of love to make 100 of those. Sharon, they are so pretty. Your DIY berry paper is just gorgeous. At least making a whole sheet of that at a time must streamline the bookmark-making process.

WOW! Sharon. If you hadn't describe your procedure for creating these marvelous bookmarks and cards, I would have thought you had found a beautiful DP to use. Truly amazing.

Sharon, these are lovely! a great encouragement to develop spiritual fruit of the vine! That is a wonderful stamped paper and I love how you used it on the bookmarks. Keep up the good work and don't get weary.

Gorgeous!! I remember the foam mounted stamps (I have since converted the few I have to clear mount as well :-)) Love the homemade DSP you have created with your stamps and to create 100 bookmarks is definitely a labor of love- great job and I am sure that they will be treasured by the recipients!!

Sharon, these bookmarks are gorgeous, and I agree that they are indeed a labor of love! But so worthwhile to do it as a project for your church! I love the colors and the detail in those leaves, stunning!!! Just goes to show that we don't have to use new product to make something really wonderful! I am so impressed!
