The Library Challenge - A Child's Garden of Verses


The new challenge at The Library  is A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. As a child, I received this book in my Christmas stocking and I still have that copy , although it's very ragged! I spotted a copy of the same edition in a charity shop and few years ago and bought it, but for some reason I haven't thrown out my old copy! 
A Child's Garden of Verses

For my card, I used an image from A Day for Daisies , coloured with Promarkers and paper-pieced, then stamped a birthday sentiment. 

I'd like to enter:

I love her paper pieced outfit, I think it’s an outfit that would look great irl with fabrics as well. Such a pretty and sweet CAS design.
