Christmas Book Card

It is a bit of challenge this week on Everybody Art Challenge make a Book Card but I'm so glad I had a go because it's not as hard as it looks and it makes a very special card.
First of all this is the tutorial I used HERE and I more all less followed it with a tip for sticking the corners I used some bulldog clips to hold them in place while they stuck.
I've use one of Mo Manning's images Urchin with bird and the papers are a download which I've just spent the last ten minutes trying to find the name but I've given up.
I've used gold card with the magnolia swirl and the Martha Stewart holly punch.

Here's the side view
I've used the top note die from stampin up for somewhere to write your greeting and again more holly to embellish.
The book inside do think this is clever.

I found this poem on online, I'm hoping you can read it better when enlarged.
I really do hope you can join us this week I really love making this book card and I'm definitely going to make another especially for occassion like a wedding etc. Don't forget to check out the team and their fabulous book cards.
