with a new set of colours to work with each week.....voted for by the participants......to create anything you want......I probably won't manage to join in every week......but the two colours chosen this week are two of my favourite colours......citron green and turquoise....so I just had to join in.
I've just got my copy of Craft Stamper magazine......and was inspired by a bookmark project in there to make some of my own.
I started by spraying and heat setting an A4 piece of card......3 or 4 times....to get the depth of colour I wanted......and then cutting up to bookmark size.
I then heat embossed with a variety of powders.......using masks and stamps.
I mounted them on some turquoise card.
I love the effect of the 'black sparkle' embossing powder.
I think these may make nice little gifts for bookworms!

I just came from Rinda's blog and oohed and aahed over there at these beautiful colors. Making bookmarks was inspired; they'll make lovely gifts.
These are my favorite colors too. I love your bookmarks. The words were perfect. Someone would be very lucky to receive them as a gift.
great depth of colour with all your layers and the embossed butterflies are fabulous
I might just join ya'll. When I saw the bookmarks on FB I thought "funny, they are the same colors Rinda used" lol
Is your blog background new? I have been a bit oblivious these past few months but it seems new to me :) Anyhoo I love it!
Oh how pretty these are - such lovely colours. Great work!
Hi, Jacky :). How pretty they are, great as gifts too. Butterflies are the loveliest creatures :).
So lovely!
What a wonderful idea! I love the depth of color and you were able to achieve and love the idea of taking one page and making several book marks. I may have to try that one too, thanks for being here and thanks for the inspiration, xoxo
I really love these colors too. Great job.:)
Oh, these are just beautiful! These colors have such depth.
Gorgeous bookmarks and love how the black stands out against the blue & green.
Oh these are lovely, you'll be really popular when you hand these out
Fun set of bookmarks. Don't you just love this color combo!?!?
They are lovely Jacky - I love the watermarks on your page and these colours are favourites of mine too.
Jacky! I love these. These are two of my favorite colors too, and I love what you did with the bookmarks. I've always said you are the queen of layering, and now you're layering in paint and ink instead of paper. Beautiful!
Oooo, just love these!
What a great project for the summer of color. I'm making postcards.
