Kitty Bee Designs #124 - Books!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #124 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #124
Books!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

Sasayaki Glitter 

and

Sweet Escape Digis 

For this awesome challenge I'm using the adorable Amy Loves Books digi image from Sasayaki Glitter. I thought she was so sweet with her stack of books! My girls love to read, and I think books are so important, so this was a really fun card for me to make. I'm thinking I'll give it to my 11 year old for her first day back to school in September. I coloured this sweet image in using Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, both alcohol based, and added some detailing with a white gel pen.

The papers and ephemera that were included in the May SCT Sampler Pack (from Pinkfresh Studio 'Let Your Heart Decide' and Simple Stories 'I Am' collections) were just right to add behind the image. I even planned my colours based on the papers!  I used a Pinterest sketch as a starting point and drew a rough black pen line around the edges of my papers for definitition. I used a stitched circle diecut to cut out part of one of the papers with the love and hearts printed on it and popped it up with foam dots to use as an embellishment along with the pretty sequin and enamel dot from the sampler pack.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenge to see all the inspiration from the other awesome Design Team members - and enter your own project HERE for a chance to win!! Have a wonderful weekend!
