Happy Tuesday everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and were able to get some crafting done! I am actually proud of myself for finishing a couple of cards that were not complete, although I can't show you them yet!! The weather has finally heated up here and we have had temps back in the high 70's already. I was quite enjoying the cold spell, but I guess living here I can't expect it to stick around.
Now for the important stuff.....it's time for MMSC37 and you do not want to miss this one...check out Priscilla's blog for all the information, you'll be glad you did! We had a good turn out again this week and the DT enjoyed seeing all your lovely creations.

Our sponsor this month is
and I have actually used one of their lovely images. I decided to make a book mark instead of a card, don't worry I won't be squishing the flowers between the pages....that's what the ribbon is for!! I like how this one came out, even though there are plenty of other crafty peeps who would have done a much better job than me on the vintage style! I did have to improvise a bit with my bookmark because of the lack of space, but I think you can see the sketch in it. Hey at least I gave it a shot!!
Our weekly sponsor is Charlene from
I colored my image in prismacolored pencils, glazed over her dress with paper glaze then added some stickles. Around the edges I chalked to give it a vintage look.
At the top of the bookmark I added a copper metal tag that says remember, a few flowers and gems
the bottom was finished off with lace, ribbon, a flower and leaves.
Don't forget to check out my lovely DT sisters creations too!
Hugs,
Charlotte

ReplyDeleteHello Charlotte - what a gorgeous bookmark - it is enough to make me want to take up reading! LOL! You do vintage so well Charlotte, I love this look with all of the sponging and those gorgeous flowers - perfect! The copper sentiment is such a lovely touch - you are amazing and it seems you can do every style so well! Thanks for sharing Charlotte - I love to be inspired by your work! {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, if I had a book mark like this, I wouldn't have it for long as all my book club friends would wrestle it away from me...lol This is just delightful and I love how you have done this sketch on the bookmark. You are so talented and creative. Simply divine!!!

Charlotte, GORGEOUS JOB! I think your Beautiful bookmark shows that vintage style you've got. Just the right amount of embellishments too for a bookmark, stunning work, DT Sister! xox ~Jeni
ReplyDeleteCharlotte! This is simply gorgeous! Okay ... this is not a bookmark I would use in my books!!! As soon as I took this bookmark out from the page, I'd be so busy admiring it and forgetting all about my book! LOL! And it's just soooo pretty for a bookmark! Whew! I love how you've added the stickles to the dress for that "sparkle". And the lace, flowers, gems ... simply put ... "Stunning!" I love it Charlotte! Well, I love EVERYTHING you make!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,

Just Stunning!!! You know I love vintage and this creation is AWESOME ... every little detail is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love it, so glad I was able to pop on over here. This is incredible, can't believe you are new at Victorian style - love the tag, flowers, lace ~ she is so well colored and proud to be on your bookmark, Love your take on the sketch, take care. Jane
ReplyDeleteWhy do you make excuses for this Charlotte? This is fantastic! And the "Remember" plate is so clever! A bookmark is supposed to help you remember - it's genius! The coloring is beautiful and you really top if off with the stickles. Just stunning!
