Hallo,Well I am back for another Timeless Tuesday challenge as Guest Designer for Flourishes this month - I am so lovin' it!!!!
Our challenge this week was to make corner bookmarks. I had not done these in a long time. I love to read and love bookmarks almost as much!!! (that is the only sad thing about getting a Kindle for Christmas - you don't need bookmarks....and I do miss the feel of a 'real' book too...).
But not all my books are on the Kindle and my nieces and nephews might like a few of these - maybe for Christmas this year - its a good time to start thinking of that (at least for me - gives me plenty of time!!!)
Well if you need a tutorial on how to make these just pop in here - www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/cornerbookmark for a quick and easy tutorial!!!
For this first one I used the Lilac set stamped with purple ink onto a goldish lightly flowered DP and then stamped off twice to give it some depth. The phrase is from the Orchid set. The second picture shows how it would sit on the corner.For the second bookmark I used the same phrase and stamps from Flourishes time set, also onto a DP (this one with just a bit of a texture linen type pattern).
On the third bookmark the only stamp I used was the phrase. The patterned paper has felted flowers on it .
And the last bookmark I used the lilacs again and colored them with copics and the phrase is a different one, also from the Orchid set.
Can you tell that I had fun making bookmarks - well they are alot of fun but also very quick to do. I even managed to use scraps for all 4 of them from my stash - they start out as a 4" by 4" square so you don't need much cardstock - and it you are anything like me there should be a few scraps laying around that will fit perfectly.
If you decide to join in the fun this week make sure to check out the Flourishes blog and link up your own bookmark project for a chance to win some shopping money from Flourishes!!!!

All for me today - I am in the middle of a 3 day stretch at work (yes I got talked into another extra day- night that is- ....) 1 down - 2 to go :).
Have a great day!!!!

Wow!! Tera, your bookmarks are so beautiful! You designed each one different with minimum layers!! Fabulous stamped details!

Whoa, you went wild with these, and they are all fabulous. I can't decide which I like best--each one of them has something in it that I love. I like the elegance of the first one, the texture and old world feel of the second, that cool dp on the third one, and the distressed, totally awesome purple swipes of color on the fourth one. Hope you have a FAB week! ~Hugs!
These are all gorgeous, each so different! Beautiful work! Blessings! Kathy
Tera, these are all OUTSTANDING! LOVE how they're mostly pretty simple but all very unique and gorgeous! In fact, you inspired me so much with the first one, I had to CASE your design... http://www.stamphappy-tammy.blogspot.com/2012/03/bookmark-it-class-today.html
