I have just put together a simple birthday card for a special friend. This is made with dark blue velvet (the stretchy kind) with a layer of gold painted bondaweb with a couple of simple rows of machining and topped off with three tiny pieces of embossed 'shrink' plastic shapes. I hope she likes it.
Whilst in this minor creative mood and to 'Celebrate' my 300th I have made two 'bookmarks' which I will now offer in a very small giveaway.... this is how they started.. scrap pieces of my rust and indigo fabrics with builders scrim and pieces of tea dyed lace. 
Then I threw loads of stuff on them - mascara (great way of using up old stuck mascara to highlight), markel oil sticks, various types of paint and rub-ons. Finally finishing off with some beads!
Sorry the pics are so dark - the pieces are really a little lighter. One measures 2" x 8.25", the other 2 x 6.5". If you would like to have one of these please just do the usual and leave a comment by Wednesday 6th August. I will pick 2 names from the list - the first will receive the longer 'bookmark' and the second name - obviously the shorter. (should anyone respond that is - if not - I am happy to keep and use myself!!)

So, now you tell me that I shouldn't have tossed the mascara in the trash a few days ago! I stood for the longest time over the trash can trying to figure out what I might be able to do with it. If I only would have known! Beautiful card and would sure love a bookmark!!
