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:
 

… and my inspired by the cover card [I do love a stamp-free card!] for The Library Challenge #62 The Moon Spinners:

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!

I agree 100% with LeAnne! Wouldn't you love to be on a little boat in those calm waters looking up at that big beautiful moon!

Awesome card, Michele. You captured the style and mood of the cover perfectly! I also love your sentiment. The background on the card looks simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing. The book looks intriguing. Are you supposed to read the book, too?

A totally perfect interpretation of the book cover Michele! I love silhouettes and yours are awesome against that pretty night sky! And the inside sentiment is perfect too! Lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

This couldn't be more perfect.

A perfect take on this book cover, Michele! I love how the moon is rising behind the building and shows so brightly in the night sky!

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.

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

TK said...

What a lovely scene, and your background is so spot on! Wow!

Bobby said...

Couldn't be more perfect, Michele. You always have the perfect stamps/dies and sentiments to create the best challenge worthy cards.

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

Gorgeous take on the book cover, Michele! I love a stamp free design once in a while, and this one is just perfect!
I hope your holiday weekend is off to a great start...stay safe, my friend!!!

Ros Crawford said...

So atmospheric and so perfect for the challenge... You rock!

Papercraft Boutique said...

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.

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

Oh I just LOVE this. What a fantastic take on the book cover, and your sentiment is wonderful.

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!
