A Bookshelf

 Hi There,

Finished up this card in order to enter it into TIMEOUT Challenge 236 - World Book Day. I am an avid reader and have hundreds of books. Three in progress right now, all for my book club.

Now coloring this stamp from Hero Arts called Bookshelf, wasn't easy. I should have heat embossed the image. That would have helped me stay in the lines. Remember kindergarten anyone?

I used Stampin' Up! Blend alcohol ink pens for the coloring. Too many to list, but it makes a colorful shelf, I think. I thought about printing a title on some of the books, but decided against it. That probably would have messed this card up even more.

The panel was cut down using a Spellbinder's older die set called Hemstitch Rectangles and mounted on a Basic Black A2 card base.  

The sentiment I found in a set by Clearly Besotted called Bookworm. It is still available online and has many great sayings. It was hard to chose one. I bet lots of us need this reminder to think when choosing a book to read. Books can teach us so much. 

Well, after 80 degrees Fahrenheit last week, this week we have 40's and 50's with rain. The grass is really green this morning, so that and all the trees budding make my heart happy. 

Take good care, my friends.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
