Art Deco BookmarksCompleted by Jillian Liddle
Firstly I printed out 2 sheets of this design. As I'm not into bookmarks, I decided to make 4 greeting cards instead. I made 1 tall DL size card and 3 A6 gate fold ones. All of the gatefold cards could be made into bookmarks once the celebration is over. These were difficult to photo together, but I hope the picture is OK.
The yellow DL card I made with both the green edged designs on the front. I decided to off set them and attached them with foam pads. I then placed a gold border around the sides & also 2 gold medallions peeloffs into the spaces above & below the bookmarks. I finished the card off with an oval embossed "Happy Birthday" sentiment, that had been brushed over in metallic chalks. I then put a gold peel-off border around it. The blue card I left fairly plain with just a "Happy Birthday" sentiment inside. The red design I attached to the fronts after placing a gold mirriboard strip down the centres. I then rounded the corners off. Again I used a "Happy Birthday" sentiment insid. The last one, with the orange design, I attached pieces of lilac tulle to the fronts before attaching the design. I cut a fancy tag with one of my dies and placed "With Love" on the front. I highlighted this with red glitter. On the inside I attached another oval layer, with a couple dancing embossed onto it. I then used a gold peel-off "Just For You" sentiment and heart and to finish that off I used a small heart shaped pearl motif in white.
