Materials Needed:
1 - 7 3/4" x 2 1/4" Colonial White Cardstock
1 - 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" Olive Cardstock
1 - 7 3/4" x 2 1/4" Large Floral B&T Duos™ Paper
Autumn Terracotta Exclusive Inks™ Pad
Olive Exclusive Inks™ Pad
4 - Antiqued Copper Brads
Liquid Glass
Assorted My Stickease™ Artwork
Sponge
Micro-Tip Scissors


Directions
Step One
With the "Adventure" My Stickease™ still on the carrier sheet, apply a thin layer of Liquid Glass over the center, top left and right, and bottom left and right alphabet squares. When the first layer is dry, add another thin layer over the same five squares. Once both layers are dry, gently bend the My Stickease so the dried Liquid Glass cracks a bit. (Note: You can build the rest of the bookmark while the Liquid Glass dries.)

Step Two
Adhere the 7 3/4" x 2 1/4" large floral B&T paper to the 7 3/4" x 2 1/4" Colonial White cardstock.

Step Three
Using Olive ink and the sponge, distress the edges of the bookmark and the 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" Olive CS.

Step Four
Attach the My Stickease tab in the top right corner.

Step Five
If the Liquid Glass is dry, continue with this step. Using Autumn Terracotta ink and the sponge, distress the edges of the "Adventure" My Stickease. Attach the My Stickease to the center of the 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" Olive cardstock.

Step Six
Attach one brad to each corner of the sentiment mat. Adhere the sentiment mat to the top portion of the bookmark, about 1/2" from the edge.
