Creative Inspirations Paint - book club

This week's Creative Inspirations Paint DT challenge theme is Book Club - to create a card inspired by our favorite book. Most of my favorite books are gardening or wildlife books (yea I'm a nerd!) so I created a card inspired by the garden.

The gorgeous green paper is from the Conservatory Paper collection by 7Gypsies. The aqua and lime paper is a digi paper from the Sprout Collection at The Shabby Shoppe. I gathered some natural silk ribbon and layered it over some turquoise seam binding.

I scanned a page from one of my wildflower books, printed the page and cut out the butterfly from this.   I could never sacrifice a page from a book! It's just wrong.

I stamped the sentiment on the tag using Evergreen Creative Inspirations Paint, the sentiment is from Basket Additions from Waltzingmouse Stamps. I painted the tag in Ivory Creative Inspirations Paint before I stamped it to add some extra shimmer. I distressed the edges with a little Gold and Evergreen CI paint.

I sponged the edges of the card with Ivory and Gold Creative Inspirations Paint. I layered the pretty Prima flower on to a cream crochet flower and some seam binding. I really like how this card turned out.
Pop over to the Creative Inspirations blog to see what the rest of the DT have created!
