Book Cover Inspiration





Hello all, This is my card make for today. It was inspired by a book cover in one of the challenges I spotted. The cover was so simple and grabbed attention.
It is made very simply using flowers made from double sided sticky sheet.
I peeled the protective layer off the top and added fine glitter to the exposed sticky surface. I then peeled off each flower and added it to a 5" x 5" square black pearlised card. In between I used pearlescent paint to doodle leaves and trailing vines. I was going to add the word Believe to the centre but bottled out and added a butterfly topper.




I would like to enter this in the following challenges

Make My Monday  Book Cover

Sprinkle n Sparkle snssc17  Anything with glitter

The Pink Elephant TPE192 CAS

Avenue 613 Create  Anything goes

CAS on Sunday  Flutterby ( CAS with Butterfly)

Happy Crafting, Janice x

    This is lovely - thanks so much for linking up to CAS on Sunday. A CAS design is all about 'more is less', so for our challenge we would need to see more white space/less pattern/a less complicated layout/less embellishments (or whatever you think is making the design not CAS). Although this particular card doesn't meet our challenge guidelines, we are thrilled that you were inspired to create a project with and we hope you'll link up another project soon! Hugs
