What wonderful challenges these last two days. Dawn, the Free 4 All reading...was addictive. But to pick my all time favorite book...can't do that. My favorite book is the one I am reading. Right now, I am finishing up Elizabeth Gilberts' 'Big Magic'...how to move beyond creative fear! And Audries, Inspiration Challenge is artist Lorraine Loots Miniatures. When I spied the mininature books tiny books, I knew exactly how I would create this card.
Lorraine is an amazing artist...working in miniature...how does one actually do that?!!!! I did notice even she {of a fresh young age} used a magnifier. Grin.
Inked the book stamp twice. Embossed in clear. Colored the top edge a gold shimmer, like gold leaf pages in old leather bound books. My book is:
Thrown Upon Her Own Resources or What a Girl Can Do. The detail on this stamp is incredible. I am sad I could not capture a better photo. at the bottom the circle spells out 3rd ed. And the spray of flowers...Stamp makers are incredible in my book!!!!
Colored the tiny flowers with Copics and used a bit of vintage velvet trim at the bottom'
Thanks so much for stopping by. I'd love to hear what you are reading right now. I am always on the lookout for my next fav book!
