I'm playing along with Just Us Girls - JUGS#528 colours, and with Perfectly CAS - PCAS#07 to use die-cuts. Our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz - C4Glz#118 is CUTE ANIMALS.
I was going through my stamps and saw this adorable bookworm and I had to use him. I stamped "Booky" on white card, coloured him with Copic markers, heat embossed with clear powder and cut him out with the matching die. I added some clear sparkle and used Glossy Accents on the lenses in his specs. I used a stamp from Sweet 'n' Sassy for the books, stamped it a number of times, coloured with markers and heat embossed with clear powder. There are only two books on the stamps, so I simply piled them up to create "Booky's" seat. To create the sentiment I used stamps from different sets and had to cut out the word 'read'. I used dimensional pads to attach the bookworm and leaning book. On the inside I stamped a quote which, I think, really resonates with the very strange time that we're living in right now.
I used some of the left over books for the inside too. I took a close-up photo of "Booky" to show the sparkle and the shine on his lenses:
Don't forget to go over and visit Cardz 4 Galz to see what the rest of the team have made. That's all for today.
