A Muse Challenge

I try to participate in the monthly challenges over at the A Muse Lounge. The themes are always fun, and you have a whole month to complete them.

This month, the challenge was to create a card inspired by a book. This was a tough one, because I wanted to use a book that I actually own, rather than making a card and trying to find a book to fit, kwim?

Here is the first one....inspired by the book Daughter of Fortune. Now, I do own the book, but I haven't read it yet! I just went literal with the title.






Next, I chose 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I don't own this one yet, but it's on my to-read-someday list! I'll probably read it with the kids when they're older.

I think this image and sentiment is about the cutest thing ever. :) I put teeny-tiny bubble stickers over the port holes and masked some scallop waves.



Thanks for looking! Enjoy your day!
