Inspired by the Free For All challenge theme of three similar elements, I made a card featuring the Read More stamp set by Creative Worship Stamps.
My 3 similar items are the 3 die-cut circles. I stamped the floral book image, added the lovely reading sentiment, and finished with a bright pink mug for a cozy touch. To finish, I added a sprinkle of sequins for sparkle.

Angie, this is the perfect card for book lovers! I think there are fewer people reading actual books, but those who do light up about their books in the same way this lovely card does as it captures some of the beauty of the practice…a good and open book, a warm cuppa, and a refreshing touch of beauty (flowers/plants). That’s a great sentiment; I haven’t seen it before.

The trio of circles gives the whole design such a clean, intentional rhythm, and that floral book image is beautifully colored. The bright pink mug adds a perfect pop of warmth, and the sequins bring just the right touch of sparkle. A lovely balance of theme and technique that really celebrates the joy of settling in with a good read.

Delightful sentiment and image - and if I hadn't just had to squish and squeeze all my crafting supplies into a much, much smaller space because we moved and have no room for anything new, I would definitely be trying to find those wonderful stitched circles. Great card!
