The new book at The Library was chosen by Visiting Librarian Jo, and it's an old childhood favourite of mine (I still have my original copy, I think) , The Secret Garden.
I was inspired by the story . If my memory is correct, (spoiler alert!) , there was a friendly robin who hung around with the grumpy gardener and, this was how Mary found the secret garden.
I thought this old Woodware (I think) stamp , with the robin sitting on the spade handle, was just right. I embossed it in white on kraft , coloured it with pencils and added a Hero Arts sentiment.

Gorgeous card, Marina! I love that you can recall the story - it really is a classic of children's literature, Jo x
Beautiful! I love the embossed image on Kraft colored with pencils and then popped on white for a CAS look. Very nicely done! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
Really pretty! I love the embossing especially! Thanks for sharing at ATCAS!
Such an elegant and classy card! Catching up after vacation, several beautiful cards while I was away, I liked the dog card a lot.
Your Robin is the perfect little creature and the image looks amazing heat embossed in white like this and then coloured. Absolutely gorgeous!
:)
I love your pencil colouring.. Gorgeous card!
The white heat embossing looks great with the sweet image and the adorable robin. Great interpretation of the book title x.
Wow Marina, love how you were inspired by the book cover. Great idea to keep the focus small and n the centre. Lovely. Thank you for joining us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. Tristan DT.
