The floating butterflies were die cut (Bo Bunny die) from white vellum and tinted with Brilliance lavendar and gold ink plus Bo Bunny gold glitter paste (the one with the less intense gold color).(I did not glue the entire die cut butterfly down so that the butterfly would appear to be in motion.) This glitter paste and the butterfly stencil (Bo Bunny) were used to make the glittered butterflies on the bottom of the bookmarks. (The pink glitter paste was used on the bookmark below.)
To finish off the bookmarks and to form a tassel, several strands of specialty yarn were looped onto each bookmark. A knot was tied near the end and flowers glued on the knots so the tag can be slipped over the gift bow. Distress Ink or Momento pink ink were rubbed on the edges of the bookmarks. I was so happy to find matching colored hydrangea flowers in my stash to glue onto the yarn of one of the tags (because the Bo Bunny card stock I used was a hydrangea print.....hard to see under all that glitter...hahaha!).
Although I did not use the large butterfly stencils or floral boarder dies on these tags, I put them in this photo to show you some of the many new Bo Bunny products. I hope you've enjoyed learning about how I made these bookmark tags which serve double duty as gift labels and book place holders. With Kindle do people read books any more? Maybe these should be craft magazine markers. LOL!
