I love to read mysteries, all kinds. Right now I'm reading a series by Anne Perry that takes place in Victorian London. But I'm basing my card for F4A315, reading recommendations, on those cozy mysteries with a protagonist with a sunny disposition who solves the mystery and gets the handsome guy. I've been wanting to use this MFT a la modes for a while and I though this was the perfect opportunity!! It will be a stash Thinking of you card.
The outside of the magnifying glass is colored with my new (on clearance) Wink of Stella. The glass is covered in Glossy Accents. The card is quite shiny IRL.

I used to have a deep obsession with mysteries, starting with Nancy Drew, and your card brings to mind a more modern version, so I definitely adore this!! Besides, it's beautifully colored and a great card design as well. Terrific!

This is so cute!! I'm a mystery person, too...love 'em! I really like how you did the "spy" glass with the glossy accents. And the bg is perfect for a spy with a sunny disposition!
