MMM - Literary Inspiration

By
This week at Make My Monday Mynnette has chosen a book cover for a bit of Literary Inspiration - take a look


Now not being a lover of the classics (I know shame on me as my daughter would say!) I haven't a clue what this book is all about so at first glance my card may not seem to go with the pic at all


I have used a flourish stamp to echo the swirls in the dress and added some white punched flowers as they can be seen in the trees. A splash of yellow was added in the form of a couple of butterflies and my sentiment echos the book title quite nicely I think - do pop over to the blog as my team mates have made some stunning cards this week all of which do far better justice to the picture than mine.

Materials
Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Made for You
Ink: Crumb Cake, Versamark
Card Stock: Whisper White, Midnight Muse
Paper: Subtles DSP
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones
Other: Label Die, Flower Punch, Butterfly Punch
(Please see the top tabs for all details on how to place a Stampin' Up order)

This is a scheduled post as I am away at the moment, please do forgive me for not commenting as promptly as I should - I hope to catch up later in the week - Jacqueline xx

    Pretty card. I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who isn't into classic literature - english lit was my least favourite subject at school!!

    I think this is a perfect interpretation of the cover - although I really do recommend reading the book - it's great fun! Hope all is well with you Jacqueline. Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
