Today I have a card I made that is perfect for anyone who loves to read, and it was inspired by the new sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #456. You can see the sketch below, but I rotated it because it brought to mind the stack of books when looking at it that way.
The stamp is a digital image, I do not remember where it came from, but I sized it to fit the front of an A2 card, and printed it, colored it with Copic markers using the challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare #478 – all neutrals + one color as my inspiration. I then cut it out, created my background layers, and finished it off with the sentiment from My Favorite Things and a little bookworm from a Newton’s Nook set.
I would also like to join the challenges at Your Next Stamp #175 – photo below
