Todaystechnique challenge is faux burnt edges. I decided to pull out this image that I love just b/c it reminds me of the Little Bear books. My kids love them and we have read them 100s of times!LOL! I decided to actually use the book cover as my inspiration so I pulled the colors from the cover. I also used the leaf ef to try to match the leaf design. I think I'll stick this card in the book and the next time one of them want to read it they will find a surprise inside!LOL! TFL!

Adorable image and great job on the burnt edges! What a cute idea to slip it into the book - maybe it will even end up with a new life as a bookmark? :o)
