I started off with an A6 card made with SU! Not Quite Navy CS. I cut two slits 3/4" apart as a slot for my bookmark to slide into. For the bookmark I cut Petite Oval Nestie die shapes in Whisper White and Pacific Point CS and Blueberry Crisp patterned paper. I used the WMS Say It With Style set, stamping the flowers and leaves in VersaMark on Pacific Point and Sahara Sand CS and heat embossing with white powder. I also embossed the sentiment in white.
I put a contrasting piece of Blueberry Crisp paper on the bottom of the card. I cut out the images and assembled them with glue dots. I haven't popped anything up, I kept it flat so the oval will function well as a bookmark To finish the card front, I added two Cuttlebug Vintage die cut shapes and silver nailheads to the flower centre and sentiment strip.
Then I decorated the envelope front and the inside of the card. I love that patterned paper! I used my Eyelet Lace border punch on the Pacific Point strip. This card will be posted to a distant friend I keep in touch with solely by snail mail.
