Here is my card and the story behind the book that I have been inspired by.
The book that I recently read was The Spoon Stealer by Lesley Crewe. The main character steals spoons from places or occasions that mean something to her. It is kind of like scrapbooking to crafters. There is a lot more to this story and I have to say that I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone.
I Looked for a digital image of spoons and found one and printed out several. After fussy cutting them, I colored them to look more realistic and made a card. The sentiment is computer generated. Here are the other supplies that I used.
The Greetery Nordic frame and Hoop Wreath stamp and die
Simon Says Leaves and Berries background stamp
Clear Dew drops
