I am a lover of books!
Since I was a little girl, my happiest memories are of visiting our public library, choosing a pile of books, then curling up to read away the afternoon.
As a second grade teacher, my greatest pleasure comes from sharing books with my students and watching them develop a love of reading. So I guess that is what inspired this card.
I combined stamps from two Paper Smooches sets, Smarty Pants and Get Outta Town. I stamped a bunch of books, colored them with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut them out so that I could stack them up. I also used alcohol markers in shades of gray to create a shadow to ground the stacks.
It is a simple design, but it makes me happy!!
I'm entering this in the SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge for this week. I really enjoy seeing what others create. Be sure to check it out!
Have a great day!
Awww, I love this card! I'm a book lover too, so that's the cutest ;-) xx
