Fall Bookmarks-PDCC #148

Hi All! We're back from our trip to the Twin Cities and it was so nice to get away for a few days. I went to two Archiver's, which is always a treat. I finally got a new paper cutter--woo hoo!

Anyways, it's time for another Play Date Cafe Challenge. This week's colors are Navy Blue, Stone, and Peach:

I knew I wanted to use a Poppy Stamps die I hadn't used yet, and I ended up making bookmarks:

I started off by making my own grey paper. I have very little grey paper and couldn't find the right color (even at Archiver's), so I used grey watercolor on watercolor paper. I love the heathered look--it reminds me of a cozy sweatshirt.

Next, I die cut two bookmarks in each color and die cut the Gentle Leaf dies. I heat embossed the edges of the dies with my favorite Holographic embossing powder. I didn't want to use actual glitter since I didn't want glitter in a book. Here's a close up:

I wish I could figure out how to photograph the glittery look. *sigh* Maybe I'll figure it out someday.

This week's PDCC is sponsored by Tami Mayberry Designs:
