They're celebrating Book Lover's Day this month - yay! Definitely something I can get into - can't tell you how many books I've read this year - oodles! I'm currently reading the International Bestseller "The Jane Austen Society" by Natalie Jenner & enjoying it immensely! Here's my card:
Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White; Ms Sparkle A2 card
Stamps - Hero Arts Bookcase Peek-a-Boo Parts
Other - Copic Markers; clear lacquer; Honey Bee gems
The image fills up an A2 card and takes plenty of time to color and shade. I spent several hours on it yesterday and probably should've done more! I added clear lacquer to the piggy and to anything that would be glass. I stamped the sentiment HELLO in about the only open spot and highlighted it with the 3 gems. If desired, see what I did with this image previously HERE. I did Kathy's (The Daily Marker) 30-day Coloring Challenge last year but I couldn't summon the energy to do the one going on right now. Kudos to those who are doing it, including Bonnie (Stamping with Klass) who's done some incredible pieces of art!!
And here's a bonus - a bookmark:
Supplies: Paper - Momenta; Neenah
Stamps - A Jillian Vance Design Coffee and Books
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Minnie Pearl Bookmark Set
Other - Copic Markers; upcycled tassel
I made this recently for a friend and hadn't shared it yet. I absolutely love the bookmark products at A Jillian Vance Design (sadly I don't have them all...), especially the Quatrefoil overlay - so pretty!! Gundi made bookmarks for her DT project & asked if anyone would send her a bookmark - I will! I made one similar to this for Gundi. It'll go out to her in tomorrow's mail.
Thanks for visiting and happy reading (and crafting too!)!!
Good morning, Linda! What fun creations today - your bookshelves were fun to look at and I love the bookmark, too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring, Linda. I would never have the patience.
ReplyDeletemy kind of card - and thanks for the recommendation for a book - always looking for new authors - think I'll give Gundi's challenge a go as I have an NBUS book stamp.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you for the shout out, but your book shout puts me to shame! What a lot of detailed coloring and so many wonderful colors! I'd love to have one just like this in my living room!
ReplyDeleteA great book shelf and lovely bookmark Linda. Thanks for the share, I'd definitely go check out Day of the Month Card Club challenge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful book-themed projects! Your coloring on the book shelf is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou have been knocking it out of the park with all your cards, Linda and this one is no exception! Just fabulous! Love the bookmark, too!
ReplyDeleteA labour of love colouring up this detailed image which is perfect for Book Lover’s Day! Your other card with this same image is just as beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exceptionally beautiful bookcase. Every book lover's heart beats faster. And then another nice bookmark and I get a similar one ... yippie !! I'm already looking forward. Glad you joined ua at DotMCC.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're reading a great book at the moment. I've already read it too. I'm a huge Jane Austen fan anyway. I've read all of her books several times. And I had to smile. I also can't say exactly how many books I've read this year, and hopefully I've packed enough books for our vacation. Gundi
Gorgeous card Linda and it was worth the time colouring. And love your book mark - really fabulous
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, well done for spending the time colouring. It was well worth it to see all the detail. I love how you have added the sentiment too.
