Books and a Cup of Tea

Papertrey Ink's "All Booked Up"

I made this card for the Papertrey Ink's  6th Anniversary challenge, http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/.  I purchased Papertrey Ink products for the first time only a few weeks a go.  A card that Maille Belles created caught my eye on Pinterest.  I like how elegant her cards are.  Even when she uses a complicated technique her cards are eye catching and not fussy. I didn't pick one specific style by Maille Belles rather I went for a more Clean and Simple design that I hope comes across as clean and simple.

 I was impressed at the quality of Papertrey's stamps.  This is the first time I used this set and it was simple to get a good impression with these stamps.  I purchased this set because there are several avid readers in my family (including myself) and I knew I would get a lot of use of it.  

On the image of the person reading I used heat and stick embossing powder then applied Rock Candy Distress Dry Glitter to the image.  I embossed the image of the book and dry embossed the card base with polka dots.  

Thanks for looking,

Kelly
