Welcome back crafty friends!
I'm happy to be through the month of February and sharing a project for the first challenge in March at the Double D. The theme is "Books, Bookmarks and/or Postal, Postage" and hosted by Team Diane with additional inspiration from Team Darlene. This topic leaves a wide range of interpretation with the pictured mood board. If you love to read, write or enjoy pretty florals, then this will be the challenge for you!
There's also a prize being offered to one entry chosen by random draw. These would be perfect for creating beautiful bookmarks!
I was inspired by the stack of vintage books in the first photo...
I love the romantic, vintage feel of the first photo from the delicate roses on top of the books to the lacy trim hanging over the side of the stack. This open book card front was created with an older die cut in my stash. There are four layers to the book although I used only three of them. The base is a "leather-like" specialty paper that I think makes a great book cover. The DP paper was my choice because it has the typed print format like a regular book and I inked all of the edges to enhance the vintage feel. I sketched a line down the center to show separation of the pages and adhered a mulberry rose at the top of the page. The bookmark has the same specialty paper base, is topped with a stamped sentiment and inked around the edges. I added a piece of vintage ribbon to it also.

I love that you were inspired by the vintage corner of the mood board. You did a great job with your card continuing in the vintage style. And I love, love, love your sentiment!
What a beautiful leather bound book with the layers and pretty paper! I LOVE the sentiment which evokes the sense of wonder and anticipation I feel each time I start a new book. Only the honest to goodness real books for me, please.
Lovely and beautiful design, full of gorgeousness as always ♥
I just realized I never commented on this lovely creation, thought I had. So sorry. I have had some stuff going on that's distracting me. I love this so much, you have nailed the challenge perfectly!!! And that sweet little rose is the perfect final touch.
You are always SO creative! Gorgeous creation my friend! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Neglected Stuff challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
