Cards are going to France this week for Luc who is Anita's (snietje) son and in the hospital. You can find the challenge here: MMTPT787 – August 22, 2023 – Book 'em Danno by jacqueline at Splitcoaststampers
Luc likes reading, the mountains, music, his motorbike and Marvel films.
I stamped my image in Versafine Clair and used a Dove Blender pen to pick up color from the various watercolor crayons.
I recently found this stamp set at a garage sale for $3.00!! I did not have to think twice to buy it and to use it for this challenge!

Fantastic! Love the books image. You got a great deal! Love how you used it for Luc's card. You even have a word in French. Outstanding card for the challenge & for Luc.

How sweet, Shirl. What an encouragement for Luc. I love that you had a French sentiment. Yes, what a perfect garage sale find your book stamp turned out to be.

How pretty!! I love the books and that sentiment is perfect, he'll never have books enough, we brought him several too, but therapy takes a lot of time, and we're here for a week so he spends his free time with us, he'll have time for reading when we're gone, thank you so much for this pretty card and I love the French Bonjour!!

Shirl, you find the best garage sale crafting goodies .... this image is so perfect for Luc! Your watercolor crayon coloring looks great! With the French sentiment and the musical notes you've created the perfect custom design for Luc.

This is a fabulous card. Don't you just love a good sale? I would have snagged this stamp up too. I recently picked up a boat load of stamps at a garage sale where the prices were great and proceeds went to charity. Win-win.

Well that's a great stamp and even better at that price! Perfect timing for this Tea Party as it looks super as does your coloring. I love that you combined both his love of books and music. And I couldn't agree more with that sentiment. Fabulous card -- especially for Luc.
