A bookmark for my sister....

My sister and I share a passion for reading... and when she was relaxing on our couch reading a book by her favorite auther James Patterson, and using a $1 bill as her bookmark, I had to do something for her * lol * I was so shocked that with all the books she has and all the reading she does she didnt have a bookmark, even one she bought to use. Sooo, I got my supplies out and started creating something for her :) For this bookmark I used oil pastels for the rose and background. I added some glitter gel to accent the rose in some areas, and also to add a sort of border around it for an embellishment. Finally I added the gold foil filigre stickers and the cool multicolor fibers. It is laminated to protect the oil pastels, since I was well aware she would be using the bookmark very often I didnt want it to smudge or ruin the pages in her books. I thought it turned out nicely and she was really happy to have it rather than $1 bill *lol*
