Today's Inspiration Challenge is #595 and the subject is Healing Words. I got a little off the mark and did my card on words that heal me when I am down, and those are the words of a very good book. They take me away from the difficulties these days of reality. I love a good cozy mystery, very rarely a body, more like who stole the antique book worth millions from the local vintage book store!
I watched a few Tim Holtz Distress stain videos this morning to create my bg, aged mahogany, peeled paint, spiced marmalade and a very little bit of vintage photo. Spritzed. Dried. Rolled TH tarnished brass over a large stamp, spritzed, stamped and dried, and then ironed the cs from the back to make it flat again. The book pages are real from my go-to book on vintage paper, an 1840s edition of Ivanhoe, and the photo is taken on top of this book. Embroidery floss makes the bookmark. This for all of us bibliophiles! TFL

I'm writing this on my Kindle Fire so I'm with you about books - and I chair a book club in my village. I love *your* little book atop all the wonderful distressing and the colours are gorgeous too.
I have just noticed you are this weeks Featured Stamper - many well deserved congratulations. I'm on route to the airport so unable to create in your honour today. Enjoy your week x
