Hey everyone! Today I'd like to share my newest project for Lavinia World Challenges #11. It's a Christmas card that has a removable bookmark for future use.
I used the following Lavinia stamps from Lavinia World:
 |
| Three Kings |
 |
| Christmas Words |
I began by stamping the Christmas Words stamp onto textured cardstock with VersaMark ink. Because of the texture in the paper, I find it necessary to use a stamp positioner so I can stamp the image multiple times for complete coverage. After I was happy with the coverage, I heat embossed the words with gold embossing powder.
Using the stamp positioner once again, I stamped the Three Kings multiple times with VersaFine Clair ink. I then heat set this image with Clear embossing powder.
I die cut my focal point using a Taylored Expressions die (Banner Stacklets 2) to create my bookmark. I punched a small hole at the top and then added gold cording. I unraveled the ends to create the tassel.
The next layer is actually a soft gold, which compliments the gold wording quite well. Unfortunately, it didn't photograph very well. The bookmark is adhered to this layer with removable double sided tape.
I used a deckle trimmer to trim the sides of both this layer and the dark blue card base.

Fabulous tag, Anne, with a wonderful way of combining the texture of EP with the paper! I especially like the tassel you spent all day making! You are amazing! (giggling and ducking under the desk here). It's a beautifully done creation! hugs, de
Beautiful Christmas bookmark! Everyone should have one of them for their favorite Christmas books!
Such a gorgeous tag Anne! When I click and enlarge the picture the gold shows up beautifully!
You did a great job getting that textured paper to cover well. I have trouble with that. I'm impressed with the embossing, too. This is really pretty!

Love love the gold embossing on this. I really need to make some bookmarks- great stocking stuffer idea!
Beautiful tag Anne, the gold embossing is amazing.
So beautifully done, Anne! I love the gold embossing and the tassel. :-D
I know I'm so late with commenting, but life took over with a few colds and sniffles in the family so it has been very busy, especially with the grandbabies being sick too. I didn't want this beautiful tag go by without letting you know how much I love it. The gold embossing on the blue background is gorgeous and really makes it stand out. Love it!
Happy crafting!
Big hugs,
