I just LOVE Toni's WT554 Smart is Cool challenge to use books. I had so many more ideas and stamps, but I stopped at two cards ;-).
For this one, I stamped my flower on a page from an old French dictionary, and coloured it with pencils. For extra strength, I added some light card behind and punched the top; the bottom edge is just torn. After shading the background with blue, I added some paint dots.
The next layer is IO Wavy Lines stamped in black on kraft, and highlighted with some little white dots. The very base just has white gel pen details.
Main panel is popped up on foam at the top edge where the clip is, and stuck to the card base at the bottom edge. I added a Dymo label sentiment and a little fabric flower with a gem in the centre to finish it off.

This is wonderful, Sabrina! Just such an amazing mix of elements that go so well together. I have that CAC stamp and I neglect it. I have that punch, too, and why don't I use it? I pretty much have everything to make this card, but I didn't, YOU did because you're so creative that way! ;)!

This looks marvelous! I love the flowers on top of the dictionary page. I love the idea of using a book page on my card and find it hard to tear from a book, no matter how old the book is.

You have so many interesting elements on your card, I've scrolled back up several times to discover something new. Lovely shades and image on the book page and the clip really sets this off, nice!
