The Library Challenge #62 The Moon Spinners

I haven't been 'playing cards' much with my favorite challenges lately - Marina's reminder card sparked a remedy to that!   Here is our recommended reading:

Inside:
I, too, feel a little lost being separated from my friends, and loved ones.
Thanks for always knowing when to pick up the phone!
 
Thanks for stopping by - your kindness doesn't go unnoticed!

  15. You get a big fat "A" for ingenuity on this one...but what I love is the sentiment on the inside. It fits so perfectly with the outside one. Super awesome effort.

  16. Moody blues scene - perfectly recreated and including wonderful sentiments. It's been decades since I've read a Mary Stewart mystery.

  19. First off that book looks like a great read by the pool. You got great inspiration from the cover Michele and your card looks amazing! I love the night sky, the silhouetted land and buildings and of course the big ole moon! Love it and love the sentiment. Come join me in the pool won't you?! Hugs, Brenda

  22. You are fantastic at this kind of challenges, Michele! I looked at the book cover and thought about how I do it before looking at your card. I was stuck in the nature silhouette... And I looked at your card. You used die-cut silhouettes of buildings (and sprinkled the windows on the sea)! I'm so impressed! I also love that you swiped the ink pads first instead of blending/sponging inks only.

  25. Ohhhh, this is so beautiful! It reminds me of the city we got married in - Dubrovnik - which looks just like this when the old stone walls and sea reflect in the moonlight! Absolutely stunning!
