Watercolored Bookcase

Hi everyone, Ilina here. Today I am sharing a card using the Bookcase background stamp along with the Story Time set and coordinating Frame Cuts.

To make the card I started by stamping the Bookcase onto handmade watercolor paper using Intense Black ink and quickly embossed with Clear ultra fine embossing powder. I did the same with the girl image, then die cut it.

Next, I watercolored them and trimmed the bookcase panel down to 3 3/4" x 5". I adhered the bookcase panel to a black note card.

I die cut a piece of vellum using the Circle Infinity Dies and trimmed it on one side. Stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink on black cardstock and embossed with White embossing powder, then trimmed to size and assembled the rest of the card.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a creative day.

Florie,

Lovely card, I own all of the study stamp sets, except for the bookcase stamp because it’s built on wood. I wish that you have it on clear.nno matter what it’s a beautiful stamp..
