AUG08VSNMINIB 'What Lurks Behind the Cover?
Book title: What Lurks Behind the Cover?
Author: Robyn O (Robyn)
Keyword: AUG08VSNMINIB
Date/Time: Friday, May 30, 2008 8:00 CST
Check out all the cards for this challenge
HERE!
Most hard covered books come with a Book Jacket or Book Cover that not only protects the book but tells you something about the book. It will have a picture that relates to the story and the inside front flaps will give a synopsis of the story and the back flap will finish it and maybe tell something about the author.
CHALLENGE: Your challenge is to make a card, (any size) using vellum with a design, either stamped or embossed over the card that has a design on it. The Vellum can either hide or enhance what is on the card. I will also allow acetate if you don't have any vellum.
***ALL VSN MINI CREATIONS FOR MAY MUST BE UPLOADED BY JUNE 13***
**You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
Uploading Instructions:
*Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. If you are using additional keywords, you must separate them with a comma. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
*It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread just in case the gallery is being testy.

Patience, I'll get to everyone in due time. Just had to go and find my brain. As my grand nephew said the other day, (he's 5). I'm sorry, Aunt Robyn, my brain just isn't working right today.

You have to post it so that I can sign it. We are in the virtual world now. No, we are not a figment of each other's imagination.

Remember ladies, if you want your book signed, when you put it in your gallery you must use the key word: AUG08VSNMINIB. That shows me you paid for your book so I am allowed to sign it. Thanks.

Whew! I'm done! God, took forever to think of a quote! I had to call my dad to help me out!
This card was done in inspiration of a book I'm currently reading for my book club called "The Shack". Must read!!! I'm only in the middle, but I'm loving it already!

Thanks for looking!!

I wish you could see this IRL, the 2 little flowers I re-stamped on the vellum are so vivid compared to the stamped image under the vellum. Thanks for reminding me how much vellum add to a card.
