Inspired by A Book Cover

The cover of THIS BOOK inspired the following card:



What a great design! I used an old SU set (can't remember the name) to make my blue strip and added a small piece of black stamped in white. LOVE the color balance on this one. Originally, I had the black piece just a bit too big, but trimming it down balanced everything nicely.

Off to spend some time with family, so I may be spotty posting the rest of the week...but I'll try!

Keep cool.

Supplies
stamps: PTI Mega Mixed Messages, SU set (?)
ink: Memento black, SU white craft ink
paper: SU  bashful blue and black, PTI white
accessories: dimensional

  9. Really great interpretation of that book cover! You are so clever! :-)

    Sadly; my library does not carry that book either. Not a single branch in my COUNTY carries it, I checked them all! :-(

  10. I checked my library for that book too and no luck (and Vancouver, Canada is a large city with a huge central library and 20 branch libraries so shame on them!). I'll request it through inter-library loan as I'm so impressed by this card and the inspiration the book gave you. The card is gorgeous! Perfect colours!
