Hello. Welcome. Still trying to find something book themed for the Craft Barn Challenge. I know, book paper, but I wanted a book stamp! So I dug through the 'little used' stamp box and found an Ex Libris stamp by Katzelkraft. I stamped and fussy cut the books and they fell onto my desk upside down and looked exactly like a mini tornado.
See! Exactly like a mini tornado!! And then there was 50's Lilith by Tickled Pink. She has been lurking for a while waiting for the perfect moment. So, since it tis the season to say Boo! and also to go back to school (witch schools start late to take full advantage of Halloween and dark evenings) I decided she fitted perfectly. Lesson 101 - book levitation
My black base card was cut with Stamplorations Crazy Stitched Rectangle die and I smeared the edges with Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube white pigment ink. Love this. It's new. I was desperately looking for a good white ink and I can definitely recommend this one. Lovely juicy pad and great coverage. If you are thinking it looks a bit washy that's cos I smeared it to get my chalkboard look.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

Very atmospheric and the idea of turning the pile of books into a tornado is really inspired. Thanks for joining in our first challenge at Always Use Rubber.
