2. Colour in the Bookmark. If you use lighter colours, you should be able to colour over the border and still see the vine pattern through the texta colour.
I went over the word "Mum" with a silver-paint pen.



3. Cut out the bookmark.
Use double-sided tape to stick the two sides of the bookmark together.



4. Punch a hole at the top of the bookmark for the ribbon to go through.



5. (Optional) If you have an eyelet setter, you can use an eyelet to reinforce the ribbon hole.




6. Decoarate your bookmark. Remember to use flat embellishments so the bookmark will fit nicely between the pages of a book.
I used punched out silver hearts and glitter glue on my bookmark.



7. Tie the ribbon through the hole at the top of the bookmark.

4. Glue the loose pieces of the woven hearts together, and if necessary trim the edges of the hearts. Turn them over so the black markings are hidden. Fold the Heart Card in half.



5. Glue on woven heart onto the front of the heart card, and the other onto the back of your card. Embellish your card to suit your taste. I used glitter glue and jewels to brighten up my card.

This look of this elegant card depends on the papers that you use - so experiment with colours and textures to find the look that you want.
The silhoutte is created by layering three shaped pieces of paper on top of each other.
