I started out intending to make card, got out some stamps inks etc and then ended up making a page in my art journal (latest obsession!). I stamped the book first, then applied some blue and pink distress inks through a stencil made by cutting a swirl shape from the centre of a piece of copy paper, then stamped and embossed some tiny glittery stars over the swirl. I removed the stencil and masked the swirl using the cut-out shape and smudged some yellow DI around the book, then stamped the fairies, dragons, castle and black sentiment. I finished by stamping 'imagine' randomly and inking the edges of the page.
The message in the book is handwritten.
For me the magic is always in the book!

Stunning creation! Hard to beat those little fairies and wow to your handwriting Chris!!
This is fantastic! I happen to believe every single book contains magic, and the ability to help us lose ourselves in another world, and your card captures that magic. Thanks for sharing your creativity at Lavinia World Challenges. Julie, DT member

There is nothing so magical as a good book, is there, Chris? I especially lilke the "children" reading about the more mature elements of their world, with castles and fairies and dragons and all things magic! It's a fabulous journal! I enjoyed seeing your pretty card at Lavinia World Challenges >. Hope you join us frequently in the future. Wishing you a happy crafting day.
