Bookworm!

Hello friends!

I am finally recovered from my cruise and the 7 hour time difference! Oh! and laundry.....soooo much laundry!

I have 3 cards to share with you today using products from Whimsy Stamp's new release.  This adorable Bookworm is from the appropriately titled, Bookworm stamp set.  I did a no line coloring with Copics and a bit of colored pencil.  I stamped the sentiment from the new stamp set, Book Nerd, directly over the image in black ink.  I added the image to this cute Book Die and added the stamping to the spine of the book.  I wanted to add a bit of interest to the background without overwhelming it, so I used the Vintage Script background stamp in Tea Dy ink over a pale pink paper.  Everything was layered and I tied a bit of twine with a vintage button to finish it off.  

My second card uses the same products except instead of the script background, I used the Tweed Cover Plate die.  I also added some leaves using vintage book paper and the Hibiscus Flower die set. I added  a little posy flower. 

My 3rd card uses these gorgeous papers from the new Enchanted Mushrooms paper pack.  I cut out the portion of the paper I wanted using the Book Die and then stamped the sentiment directly over it with Versafine Ink and white embossing powder.  The purple background paper was a water colored piece I had in my stash and I sanded the edges a bit.  I ribbon was tied vertically to finish off the card. 

I will have a few more cards soon using these sets! They are so much fun and slightly addictive. ;)

Have a wonderful day!
