This post is a bit exciting for me - I created these Book Gems for the sneak peeks of the Layers of Color Art Stencils, using the Delicious Dots Art Stencil. Laura asked me if I would like them featured on the back of the packaging - well, of course I said YES - what an honour!!
You have an opportunity to win one of the gorgeous Art Stencils - keep reading and you can find out how!!
I sponged the Book Gem with Distressing Ink and rounded the corners with the SU Corner Rounder. . The edges are distressed using a pair of scissors as I have misplaced my distressing tool (SOBBING!) But I must say I am not unhappy with the results I am getting with the scissors!
The gorgeous little flower some of you would recognise from the Merci Bouquet art stamp set - it fits perfectly in the centre of the stenciling. It is coloured with SU Chalks/Pastels.
I have tied ribbon around the Book Gem and secured it through the centre of a pearl buckle/slider! It is as easy as that! I love these as an extra to put in a card - or even to use in a book - oh okay Craft Magazine! LOL!
I am linking this to the following:
Little Red Wagon #33 - Beads
Meljen's Designs - Fibre, ribbon or lace
