Challenge #124
Books!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

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.

For my card today I'm using this adorable koala digital stamp - Winter Kiddles from Sasayaki Glitter. He'd also be super cute on a Christmas card! I pulled out some pretty wintery paper from my stash and coordinated the blues and greys on the image coloured with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers (alcohol based). I found some little diecut snowflakes and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins in the same colour scheme and used them on the card along with some pretty lace and bakers twine. I had a diecut thank you sentiment in my stash that someone sent me in some happy mail and thought it would be perfect as a wintery thank you card! 

I used one of my favourite embossing powders - Winter's Mistake, from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies to add some glittery snow around the edge of my matted diecut, cut with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die and on top of the diecut greenery branches. The silver brad in a Bobunny flower matched just perfectly too!

Inside, I used a wonderful stamp from Pretty Pink Posh, some more snowflake diecuts and SMS sequins.
