The Library Reminder - Death on The Nile

Time for a reminder at The Library. 

I've gone all-out ancient Egyptian for this one.

I've had this Tutankhamen stamp since the Egyptian-look had a big moment in stamping - must be over 16 years ago! Bring it back! I stamped it in black over a printed paper from Debbie Moore Egyptian promise CD. Then I added an (un-Egyptian) sentiment and touches of gold and spray ink, for a lightly distressed look.

You don't have to go all Egyptian for this challenge. There's quite a lot else going on on the cover. I'd love to see your ideas. You can enter here.

    One of my favourite authors. I think I have all her books and dozens of audiotapes and DVDs. I like the simple but striking image that you have achieved with stamp and background. Thank you for joining in with us at CD Sunday.

    Love all the different elements you've combined, Marina. Stunning card. I'm really struggling with this theme as I don't have any Egyptian stamps (who knew!), so may go with a twenties vibe instead, Jo x

    Great mix of stamp and paper, they fit so perfectly as if they were made for each other! It appears I started stamping after the Egyptian era style was a la mode, I haven’t got a single one in my stash. Not that it matters for this particular challenge....

    What a beautifully designed card, Marina. When we love a stamp, it's never too old to use, right? I can see why you've hung onto this treasure. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

    Super cool stamp! Great for your theme! I am betting that the older stamp companies (the ones that don’t come out with new releases all the time and that also don’t retire images as often) probably do have some Egyptian stamps.
