The little miss this card is going to just recently had her hair cut short and loves ballerinas - so I found an image that I could give a haircut ;) Since she's brand new to my (enormous) stash of Tiddly Inks I'm popping this in over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun for their first monthly challenge, Try Something New.
The SOS DT made sure to share which book inspired our creations - make sure you do in your post too!

Oh my gosh Jessi this is ADORABLE. fabulous background and super cute image. I too just read Horror/Mystery books and thought they might not be appropriate for a card.
This is so cute, Jessi! I like shaker cards (although I have never made one!) I like your background staining, very effective. Little Miss Carmen is going to love this!
I am a big crime/mystery fan as well. My personal favorites are P.D. James and Agatha Christi. I read them in between reading the current authors. I will read anything written by Stephen King, even though I know it will peter out in the end. I just finished reading Testament and Younger.

Eeeeee this is so pretty and pink and ballerina-y!
Loving the sequins...just perfect!!
LOVE Olivia! And she's a great inspiration for this card. (And I agree, the illustrations in the books are a great tutorial, as well) I think it would have been fun to see a card based on a mystery/crime book... a use for red spray mists? :P (Have you read Pretty Girls?)
superly duperly AWESOMELY fab!!!!!!!! great take on the book challenge, missus! ♥♥♥
Lovely creation. Thanks for playing along with us at Open Minded Crafting Fun. Hope to see you again next month. Good luck.

Aw... cute card! Yes, children's books seemed easier than adult ones. I'm with you on the mystery thing, not easily translated to a card. Charlotte's Web came to my mind at one point but I didn't know who I could send a card to with a spider and a pig on it.
Very beautiful.
Thank you for entering the Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge and best of luck with your entry.

I too love murder/mystery and I can imagine what projects would come out of that genre, lol. Love your sweet girl with her ballet outfit and fancy mask. A delightful shaker card. Thanks for sharing with us at Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge. Hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Sandy
