A Book Tribute

For one of my other jobs, I get to Book Reviews for the SIMPLY STACIE blog.

I won't give you all the details here, you can get the complete story over on my blog.

For our CHEERY LYNN purposes, you only need to know, this card is a tribute to the wonderful book by Kamala Nair called The Girl in the Garden.

I was inspired by the GORGEOUS cover.

Here is my card based on the cover.

Here are the 2 side by side.

This was my first time working with the new die called EMPEROR'S SWAN.

I was amazed at what an easy time I had cutting this out. My secret?

My brand new CUTTLEHUG Metal Adapter Plate.

You can see how intricate and delicate this die is; the CUTTLEHUG made this painless for me!

I also used the VICTORIAN PICKET FENCE, TROPICAL FLOURISH, GRASS BORDER and PRETTY PETAL.

I hope you like what I have created today.

If you ever get in a rut and need inspiration, it is really all around you.

Do you have a stack of books?

Go look through the covers and if one inspires you to make a card, I'd love to know and see it!

Look everywhere there is beauty and ideas everywhere!

My challenge for you is to go out and find it somewhere unexpected:)

This has been Jeannie from THE POLKA CABANA with today's post!
