It's a card! It's a bookmark! It's...a bookmark pocket card! Sorry...not enough coffee yet this morning to come up with a more creative name! Anyways, here it is...
Since there is so much color and detail on the bookmark, I opted to go with a solid color (Coastal Cabana) for the main panel of the card and just add some texture using a couple favorite embossing folders...Decorative Dots & Zig Zag. I positioned the butterflies on the base of the card to line up with the bookmark when it was inserted in the pocket. Here's a closer look at the bookmark...
After stamping, I laminated it using my Xyron machine and added the large eyelet and some pretty fibers I had on hand. The colors of the fibers coordinate surprisingly well with the colors of ink I used...which was a happy coincidence because I didn't plan it that way. Here's a look at the back...
The quote used here is from a favorite retired hostess set called The Art of Life.
Thanks for stopping by today...have a good one!

I love this it's just so gorgeous. I actually ordered a 5" Xyron sticker machine and am waiting for it and a few other goodies to arrive later this week.I didn't know that they can laminate as well, or are there two different ones. A pity you didn't explain that a bit further, anyway thanks for sharing this idea, I may just have to try some of my own with it.
All I can say is WOW! So delightfully gorgeous!
