Books & Flowers

Posted on May 3, 2024 9:50 PM by Julie Comment

Are you a book lover or know someone who is? This could be the card for them. A stack of beautiful books under a shelf of flowers. All against a quilted cover background. The dies make it easy to customize the colors.

t’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC961) and we are headed to A Cup of Needles & their Pinterest Board where I saw THIS lovely embroidery piece.

After die cutting the books out of several different colors, I put them all together. I used some of the same lavender & purple colors for the flowers. The vase & shelf were cut out of an ivory color. I wanted them to be a little different from the white background but not so much that they took over. The flowers and leaves were shaped a bit before i attached them. I love how the holes in the quilted background cover let a bit of the purple backing show through.The greeting was stamped onto a small wood plank, just the right size for it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I was able to combine 2 Splitcoast challenges with this card…the Technique (TLC690 -make a doodled frame) & the Clean & Simple (CAS481 – teacher or grad card).

While I was pondering the doodled frame, I thought hmmm..I could make the greeting look like a chalkboard & white emboss the greeting. Then doodle a frame on it & around it.

After I white embossed the greeting & die cut it, I used the white pen to doodle the inside frame & the black pen to doodle the frame outside. The teacher tools were colored & fussy cut. The white hearts are part of the greeting on the inside & I inked just them & stamped them. I didn’t want to heat emboss them, so I used the white paint pen to make them stand out more.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A329) is teal & red. My teal is slightly on the turq side (I’m down to scraps of true teal..need to get some!) & my red is slightly on the vermillion side because it went better w/ the shade of teal.

Since it’s getting close to the end of the school year & a lot of people like to make cards for those special teachers. This also continues the DRS Challenge from yesterday to use a die cut. My original intent was to use the Owl & the Open Bible & then I thought, what goes w/ books? Reading glasses! Around here, anyway, because I have terrible eyesight. Then I pulled out the Teacher Tools & saw that the stump the owl was sitting on, matched up just about perfectly w/ the pencil cup in other image. If I had done it before hand, I would have masked the apple, but since the owl was already done, I just masked him & did an extra apple to add on top. The book was stamped twice & I used a Micron pen to scribble the “writing” & popped up the extra image to give it some dimension.

The teal bg was embossed w/ an apple folder & the Thanks word was die cut once out of the vermillion & once out of white & double stacked a little offset. The glasses were die cut & I put some thin plastic behind them to simulate the lenses.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copic colors I used.
