Crayon Resist Magnetic Bookmark



















I embossed the Bella Toile on Pink Pirouette cardstock using clear embossing powder and Versamark




Stamp images on Glossy White cardstock using black StazOn ink.













Fill in various areas with a white crayon. I colored in cotton blossoms and veins of flowers. The ink will "resist" this area.




Sponge color on top of entire image. I started with the lighter color and then added the Rose Red.


Cut a piece of cardstock 8 1/2" by 3 1/8", fold in half at 4 1/4". Add a thin magnet strip to top and bottom so when it is folded over both sides will catch. Affix sponged panel to front of this piece and then attach to card front using magnet closures.
