Today, I set out to make a guy card with a "behind the scenes" bookmark pocket. Literally....the bookmark is housed behind the scene. I used score tape on three sides to create a fun little useful pocket for my bookmark. Once the bookmark is removed, the card stands alone without anything appearing missing.
I first stamped the scene image in vintage cream and embossed. I then sponged on Memento Bahama ink. I created the pocket, stamped and die cut the bookmark, inked edges, added a rustic tassel to my bookmark, and finished with a few blue gems. I like how it turned out.

This is gorgeous Betty. I bought some white ink and EP last winter because I was going to do Christmas cards with it, and I never got around to it. I love the white stamped and embossed images, and yours is really beautiful. I also love the way you added the bookmark so it wouldn't look like something is missing when it's removed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Betty. Love the wood grain background, and like how you did the hidden bookmark.
ReplyDeleteWow, Betty! What a unique and fabulous way to present a bookmark and card together! Gorgeous! Love that embossing in white too!
ReplyDeleteo how pretty!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a lesson on this technique as I couldn't work out what you used. but love the effect.
