Purrrfect book reading day

 Hello, hope your day is going well.

You know how you have a card design in your head…..

and then find it’s really difficult to manifest it?!

Bet you do!


I wanted to use this stamp, but also make a background for an avid book lover.
I masked the cats image, and stamped the books from Les Shoppes, SU, over and over,
trying to line up the shelves with the tiny stamp. They’re not purrrfect.


I then stencilled the “floor”, and put the topper against a white card blank……ugh,
didn’t work for me……I know, I’ll stencil it to match the floor! Again, not purrrfect.
Then wanted to add a bit more interest/dimension, so fussy cut some books from the Les Shoppes paper.
Can you see how tiny they are?!!!


I made the sentiment by masking off and using bits of stamps.
Note to self: stop making it so difficult for yourself!
Can anyone see that the cat’s book is meant to be a Terry Pratchett? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™„


Hope you like it anyway ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ˜‚
