Friendship Book Card

I love the "Every Chapter" Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! I used to be a huge reader and definitely want to get back into it. I have a stack of books I have recently purchased and still have not read them yet. Sometimes I think I'm more of a book collector than reader. Being an adult makes it difficult to finding the time to read. Does anyone else have that same issue? 
​
I think this card is perfect for your friends that love books! The picture is so detailed and even includes a cute tea cup on the stack of books. Tea and a book sounds like a wonderful idea! 

​My Design Process: 

Picture
When I picked this stamp set, I wanted to figure out a way to spice up the stack to get it to pop out. I decided to use the Hand-Penned DSP. I used the colors as inspiration for coloring and I cut out the flowers to place in the background. 
Picture
While coloring I usually keep a bit of white on the side so that I am able to test out the colors. Sometimes the colors are too light or too dark. Testing the colors on the side prevents ruining a stamped image. 

Picture
After coloring, I fussy cut the image and started placing the flowers around it. I loved it! It was then time to figure out what paper I was going to place behind it! 
Picture
The first color I tried was Pale Papaya. I liked it, but I felt like it was lacking a bit of umph. 

Picture
I then tried Shaded Spruce and I thought it looked better. It was a really good contrast to the books and flowers. 
Picture
I decided to try to fill in the bottom of the stack of books with flowers too and decided that looked better than leaving the bottom empty. 

Picture
I tried Pale Papaya again with the flowers on the bottom and still thought it was too light. 
Picture
I got the idea to add a layer of vellum to the Shaded Spruce and didn't like it. The vellum cancelled out the vibrance of the Shaded Spruce Cardstock. 

Picture
I didn't want to get rid of the vellum so I tried it on the Pale Papaya, and it was perfect! 
Picture
After deciding on the design, I began putting the card together. First layering the vellum on the card base using adhesive in the center. 
Picture
I used Tombow Liquid Glue on the flowers so that I could move them as needed while they were still drying. 
Picture
Woo hoo! The final card turned out better than expected! Gorgeous!
