Other Supplies: Felt, Lace Doily, Oval Cutter, Pen, Pigment Ink, Ribbon, Sewing Machine (Optional), Small Paper Flowers, Stamp, Watermark Ink

Cut two pieces of felt and sew together to form a bookmark base. Apply clear watermark ink to the Vintage Lace letterpress plate. Apply red pigment ink to the same letterpress plate, carefully place a piece of cardstock on top of the plate and deboss using your Big Shot, BIGkick or Vagabond machine. Remove the cardstock and set aside to dry. Once dry, trim around the design, ink edges using a contrasting color ink and attach to the bookmark. If desired, embellish with stitching. Stamp sentiment on cardstock, cut into an oval shape and embellish with red pen. Embellish with a lace doily and adhere to the bookmark. Embellish top of bookmark with die-cut flowers (of your choice) and a ribbon bow.

If using regular cardstock with the Ink-its letterpress plate and not getting the impression you desire, place a thin piece of craft foam between the top cutting pad and your paper. Use pigment ink layered over clear watermark ink and medium weight (or heavier) watercolor paper - 100 lbs or more - for best results.
