The Library Challenge - All Creatures Great and Small


The new book at The Library is All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. 

All Creatures Great and Small: The Classic Memoirs of a Yorkshire Country Vet (James Herriot 1) By James Herriot | World of Books

For my first card (top) , I was clearly inspired by the cover, This country scene was printed from a My Craft Studio CD - it was a uncoloured image in the No Stamp Required folder, so I coloured it with Promarkers and stamped a sentiment. 

I'd like to enter:

For my second card I took inspiration from the title- this being a small creature!  I cut the sentiment on the Silhouette and used the negative , putting striped paper behind it. Then I stamped the sun, bee and trail and added dots to the edges. 

I'd like to enter:

I love the cards you created with the inspiration book - two different takes and both are lovely. The color black, white, and yellow color scheme is so fresh. It's fun to use the negative for words. I often use that technique for scrapbook layout titles.

Two really different design versions with the same source of inspiration. I think your coloring with different shades of green is so well done, a lovely countryside scene. The striped sentiment on the second card is a great graphic detail for a clean design.
