 The card I have made for this Challenge features the Every Chapter stamp set from the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalogue.  I've used the Challenge colours to watercolour the image to produce a monochromatic look. I've also used the Layered Designs Vellum as a backdrop to work in with the book theme.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• Stamp Set:  Every Chapter
• Dies:  Stitched Retangles
  
• Cardstock:  Very Vanilla Thick, Garden Green, Shimmery White,
• DSP:  Layered Designs 12 x 12 Vellum 
• Ink:  StazOn Jet Black
  
• Ink Refills:  Garden Green, Soft Succulent, Basic Gray
• Colour Accessories: Wink of Stella
  
• Tools:  Water Painters, Paper Trimmer, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Adhesives: Stampin' Seal

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

• Create a card base in Very Vanilla Thick cardstock. 
• Trim a piece a vellum to measures 1/4" smaller on two sides.  This will allow a border of 1/8" all around.
• Die Cut a rectangle using the Stitched Rectangles dies.
• Stamp your image on Shimmery White cardstock using StazOn Jet Black ink
• Add a drop of ink refill in each colour to a larger clear stamping block and colour your image with the small detail Water Painter as follows:

        From the top:

        Cup:  Basic Gray, Soft Succulent

        Glasses:  Soft  Succulent, Basic Gray (glass area) 

        First Book:  Garden Green, Basic Gray

        Second Book: Soft Succulent, Basic Gray

        Third Book:Basic Gray, Soft Succulent 

        Fourth Book:  Soft Succulent, Basic Gray

        TIP:  When watercolouring, colour areas not next to each other as colours run if colouring beside a wet/damp area.

• Die cut this image with the same Stitched Rectangle that was used for the Garden Green cardstock.
• Adhere the Vellum to the card front using Stampin' Seal.
• Adhere both the coloured image and the Garden Green cardstock together, offsetting the rectangles.  Adhere this to the card front keeping the image straight.
• Add a strip of Vellum to the inside of the card.
• Add some Wink of Stella to the frame of the glasses.
