Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today I'm mixing some really fun bookish products together. I have a very special librarian in my life who I needed a card for so this was extra fun to pull together.
I started by die cutting and inking up the Waffle Flower Open Book die and stencils. I used blending brushes and Lawn Fawn dye inks to color the layers. It was so much fun! I can't believe it took me this long to give it a try. I'm for sure hooked and excited to make some with the new Christmas stencils too!
Once that portion was finished I pulled out the Concord and 9th Wood Plank embossing folder for my background panel. I trimmed it down to 4x5.25 inches after it was embossed and inked it lightly with gray to bring out the texture.
Next, I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Little Woodland Library stamps and dies to choose the sweet reading critters to place around my open storybook. After those were stamped, colored and die cut I moved on to assembling the parts together.
Wanting a little contrast I added deep sea ink to my card front before popping the wood plank panel up with foam tape. Then I glued the storybook down with liquid glue and popped up my critters and sentiment strip with foam squares and strips.
For finishing touches I just added a little glossy accents on the worm's glasses and white gel pen highlights on all the stamped images.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
