This is also a prize week which means you have a chance to win your choice of one container of glitter. You can check them all out HERE!!
I wanted to create something besides a card and used some simple supplies to create a little bookmark. See that ribbon? It's the most wonderful velvet ribbon! In my opinion, velvet is one of the greatest inventions ever! And Jeanette has some in the store along with lots of other great ribbons too!
Here's another shot of the bookmark. I actually made two of these to give away as little gifts. I hope the recipients enjoy them! The verse is part of The Gift, a set that was released with Easter in mind but that has uses throughout the year.
If you'd like to achieve this look in glitter, it's very simple! Here's what you'll need for this technique:
Transparency/Acetate sheet
StazOn Ink
Cardstock
Xyron
Loose Glitter
*Stamp image/sentiment on transparency using StazOn ink.
*Run through your Xyron machine applying adhesive to the back.
*Cover with glitter.
*Run through your Xyron again, applying adhesive again and then attach to your cardstock base.
Be sure to visit the rest of the Bananas and see their glitter projects. I've been able to have a little sneak peek and they are super fun! Lots of wonderful details and shiny glitter!
