I'm sharing an image today that's new to me, and it came from Beccy's Place. The set is called "Book Lovers" and I merged one of the sentiments from the set with this particular image to turn it into a birthday card.
I colored the image using my Sanjoki markers, added a few highlights with gel pens, then cut it with a square die from QuicKutz. I trimmed each of the corners to make it an uneven, octagon shape. I inked the edges with an ink pad. The background CS was embossed twice; first with my 'Linen' EF, then with a dandelion folder by Darice. My final touch was the gemstone butterfly, which has been in my stash for ages. In fact, everything, including the embossing folders, came from my stash.
Challenges:
Butterfly (pink, persimmon, plum, pistachio)

I'm loving that embossing NanaConnie, especially the linen texture, it reminds me of the old Bazzill cardstock I used to buy. Great colour too. I love the way you've coloured the image... the darker tones give the books a wonderful aged-look.
Cheers,
Beccy
So cute.
