Mini Book Covers Card

June 10, 2020 Sidelle Menon 27 Comments

Hello everyone!

A Little Reading is All the Therapy a person needs sometimes.

Today I decided to try out something different. While casually going through my bookshelf, I remembered checking out these cute little mini books at a bookstore a while ago. I instantly decided to incorporate them in today's card as it's something that everyone loves!

I recycled old wedding cards for all of the books and the background as well. The background is made with strips of vintage book paper. I distressed the edges with my vintage photo distress ink and archival jet black in and added a few splatters of white and black colors. The sentiment is from the wrapping paper of a bookstore!

I took the entire day to make this card but I really loved the outcome and it's a perfect greeting for my dad on fathers day as he loves reading!

Even though I'm not a novel fanatic, I really love the covers, especially of the classics!

My favorite miniature is The Alchemist, what about you?

As a book lover, I cannot help but love this design! Five of my all time favorite books are represented here and rather than continuing my search for something "good" to read, I might just pick up one of my faves! This is a fabulous concept and you executed it to perfection. The time it took was worth it! Thanks for such a unique and beautifully crafted submission to our challenge at 613 Avenue Create!
