This is a bookmark with a cover suitable for gift giving, or keeping for yourself! It is the sample I made for today's Stamp Simply Challenge I run on my Blog each Friday. More details on this project and about the Challenge can be seen on my Blog:
This is also for yesterday's WT139 to use velvet in our projects. I LOVE velvet, and the long ribbons hanging down are black velvet.
This is made with a brand new set just released by Flourishes called Flourished Elements!!! What a gorgeous set full of all sorts of flourishing swirlies and curlies - I just love it!!! It's my dream set come true!!! The designer paper by Basic Grey (Periphery), the wide blue satin, the black velvet and the black scalloped satin are also from Flourishes. www.flourishes.org.

Like the others, I've been holding on to that gorgeous bird, unsure how to use it. This is an inspiration, what a beautiful piece of art. Anyone would be lucky to receive this as a gift!

Stunningly elegant. So many wonderful details to look at. It took me a while to get down here to type cause I didn't want to take my eyes of of it. Elegance personified.

Oh, thoroughly beautiful! I can imagine lying on the sofa with a hot drink and a good book - it would have to be a classic to do this gorgeous bookmark justice!
