I Nearly Did it Again

Almost forgot to post my card/bookmark before the closing date on Gingersnap Creations.  Would not be the first time!!

This is my card for the Colour Challenge - Red and Gold.  I hope it is ok that it has black in it but when I looked at the DT samples they were not pure red and gold so I guess it is.


The white bit at the base is the scanner lid - it's because of the beads dangling on the bookmark part.

I stamped and embossed in gold the small fan and then cut out, painstakingly, the  struts at the base of the fans so that I could mount the whole on red cardstock.  Next it was mounted on gold, then more red and finally on the black base card.  The writing down the side is on the inside back page and has perforations down the side so that it can be taken off by the recipient and used as a bookmark.  Hope you follow that.  Another fan, this time with beads attached, finishes it off.

I did start another one but whether I will manage to finish it or not remains to be seen - maybe it will get uploaded tomorrow as I think there is still time to enter.  Maybe it will remain unfinished and as an idea in my head.

Hi, another great idea! I'm gonna make a card with a built in bookmark for my cousin who won a spelling bee recently!
