Hi everyone!
Today I'd like to share a little
Third Coast project inspired by a trip to the bookstore to pick up my favorite crafty magazines.
They had these awesome little bookmark "Sprouts" on a shelf by the cash (perfect product placement or what!? :) This gave me the idea to build a bookmark that could fit between the pages and fold in the same way. The lovely Edie's Butterfly (ES138) seemed like the perfect choice for the job.

Opens to a beautiful butterfly marking your page |
To create this project, the butterfly was stamped with Momento Ink and colored with Copic Markers. The post is a 3/4" strip of paper folded in half and then splayed open at the top (to form a T shape). The T was then glued to the underside of the wings to form a post. I thought afterword that it would have been nice to make the post blue and stamp it with green grass or a flower... next time!! :) This stamp is just beautiful without embellishments, but next time, I might add a few gems, a bit of glitter or a Spica Gel Pen sparkle.... oh the ideas are endless! LOL! I hope you'll make one of your own and share a link to it in the comments - I'd love to see your version of this!
