Book Lover!

It had been ages since I played along with a challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie, plus I came across a large scrap of book patterned paper from the Oxford collection by Basic Grey. So Priscilla came out to play!

Here's the card.


Priscilla was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto X-Press It Blending card, then colored with Copic markers. When I was done, I added some blush using pastel pencils.

The image panel was die-cut using a Nestabilities die, kept in the die, and Old Paper Distress ink was sponged over the die onto the image. It was popped out of the die, matted onto black cardstock, then adhered to the book patterned paper. Some Washi tape was used to finish the card. I haven't figured out who will get the card for what occasion, so it's sentiment-less at the moment.

Thanks for visiting!

I shall enter this card into the following challenges:
