McMahon Five Designs- Magnetic Bookmark

I found a fun magnetic bookmark in a store in Breckenridge last year- and I wanted to make one- today was the day!

 I used a digital image Go Confidently and colored it with Watercolors (Gable Green and Turquoise and Yellow) and then added Creative Inspirations Paint to add some shading.  (I used Blue Ice and Sapphire paints) .
I wanted the color to match my Glimmer Mist Watercolor background (Kiwi and Blue Skies). I used a Zig Zag and added stitching around the border after adding some direct to paper inking with the green and Turquoise inks.

Here is a close up of the glimmer- it is so shimmery IRL!

Now on the back, I used the same glimmer mist and used another Technique Junkies technique called Glimmer Lace.

I did the DTP swiping on the edges and added stitching. 

  I added a piece of Turquoise cardstock the same width as the tag and scored it every 1/8 inch in both directions.  I sewed on lace where the cardstock joined the tag on both sides, and on the bottom of the sentiment side.

 Now, I have some magnet sheets somewhere, but cannot find them...so I took 2 refrigerator magnets that are business card sized that came in ads and glued them with craft glue to the back of the tag.

 I really like that I can put this tag in from the top or from the side...and that way, I can bookmark where I stopped reading....... and it stays where I put it......

 and here is the other side....
