January Card Club - Card #2 - a layered card that features a fun bookmark

 For our second card I designed a card whose focal accent is a bookmark!!!  We adhered our backgrounds to our cards and then moved on to making the bookmark.  The top layer of the bookmark is pieced and then stamped with an image and embossed with embossing powder before being adhered to a coordinating cardstock rectangle.  We punched a hole at the top and added coordinating fiber.  The bookmark is held in place by a strip of cardstock applied across the card and only adhered on each side of the bookmark which allows for flexibility.  After adding paper piercing to my strips and tying on a piece of fiber, I positioned the strip upside down on the card front, positioned the bookmark and then applied double sided tape to each side avoiding the area where the bookmark will slide under.  After adhering the strip to the card front the bookmark slides nicely into place.  Therese
