Books galore at Tuesday Taggers

When our lovely Teamie Michelle chose the theme of Books at Tuesday Taggers I knew exactly what I was going to do. For several years I've had the Garden Fantasy sheet of Non Sequitur stamps, and there is a girl on it that always reminds me of the ghost of Cathy from Wuthering Heights. I got out my stamps, my brayer, a big and juicy pad (Hydrangea) et Voila!
The tree stamp is one I picked up from Encaustic art plus at Elsecar heritage centre. With clear embossing the outline of the girl the brayered ink wouldn't go right to the edge, but I think it makes her look quite ghostly. I finished it off with a quote.
Thanks for looking and I do hope you can pop over to Tuesday Taggers and join in the fun. Whilst you are there check out the amazing examples for our fabby DT!

    Fabulous and the halo adds to the ghostly effect as she floats across the card. Wonderful xx Zoe

    Brilliant idea, Sally and you're right - that edge looks very ethereal - cool effect, even if serendipitous, lol. Love the colours.

    Ohh I can just see her on the moors, Sally. What a great image. She certainly looks windswept.
    I love the moon too.
