A Rose Between Pages - Heartcraft Paper

Hi Everyone,

This week has been a rough one for me (no dirty laundry sharing), when I am at worst I create my best so today I am sharing with you this gorgeous rose bookmark I created for Heartcraft Paper.
You can check out the current HCP Challenge on the Blog Here.

I purchased these Disney Beauty and The Beast Sentiment Stamps about two weeks ago and today I had this bright idea to use them in conjunction with the gorgeous Rose digital stamp from Heartcraft Paper.

Can I just say how much I love this Rose image, it is one of the most stunning ones I have seen in a while, in the shop there is also some beautiful other flowers so please go and check them out.

Anyway, onto my bookmark, I imported the image in to MS Word (no fancy programs here), I then resized the image to the size I would need to fit the bookmark dies I had chosen. I decided to use the My Favorite Things Tall Tag Duo Bookmark dies as I love the faux stitching.

Once I had the images resized I layed them out onto my page so I was able to cut a second one from the same page. I printed the images using my Brother Laser Printer and Mondi Color Copy 250GSM Cardstock.

The images were printed and ready to cut, I adhered the dies over my image using Washi Tape just incase they moved. I ran them through my Crafter's Companion Gemini Machine so I could run them through in one run instead of having to cut them into small sections.

After they were die cut I used My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink in Black Licorice and Lawn Fawn Acrylic Blocks and the sentiments and the stars came from a Disney stamp set called Belle, I then grabbed the Copic Markers I wanted to use and got to work.

I coloured the images up using the following markers

Copic Markers Used

G40, G43, G99
E42, E47
Y21
E35
R35, R37, R39

Once I had coloured the image up I added Uni-ball Signo to the rose and at you Spica in Gold to the bow just to give them some definition and some sparkle and shine .

Colouring is now finished, I cut another bookmark piece to use as a backing to cover the bleeding of the Copic Markers, I adhered it using American Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive and used red Ribbon from Krafty Savers and on the second bookmark I added Whimsy Farm Twine in Rosalie.
