Found a new challenge to enter via my friends, Linda and Gundi. It's the Day of the Month Challenge and this month the theme is Book Lovers Day.
I won this stamp and never have used it - just couldn't think of a way to design a card around it - so this challenge made me do it. First stamped and colored it with my Zigs and then fussy cut. Found this really old scripty paper in my stash and thought it would be a perfect background for the books. Blended a bit of brown around the edges for a vintage look, added the sentiment and a few little hearts and done.
Thanks for stopping by.
A cup of tea and a good book, a perfect combination. I am very happy that you found our challenge blog and that we were able to encourage you to use the stamp. A great card that will delight every book lover. Glad you joined us at DotMCC. Gundi
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Betty. Great use of the book stamp. Love the background papers.
ReplyDeleteWhose stamp is that, Betty? Just love it! Looks great with the text background and how you colored it!!
ReplyDeletelove that stack and the scripty bg.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to use that stamp, Betty! Made you think of your librarian days, I bet!
ReplyDeleteLove your stamp and you've coloured it so beautifully - I can practically smell the leather binding on these old books! And it looks perfect on the script paper with that simple hello and the sprinkling of hearts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! So glad you found our challenge and that you've been able to use your NBUS stamp. It was worth the wait to use it, you really made a pretty card with it. Thanks for sharing and for playing along at DOTMCC.
ReplyDeleteHello Betty,
ReplyDeleteyou have a very nice handwriting, but unfortunately I still have some problems reading your postal address. Can you send me the postal address again by e-mail (look in my imprint), because I would like to send you the promised bookmark.
Greetings Gundi
