So I wasn't given many details for this one, just this brief description-
I went with some quilling! I know, not the first thought that comes to mind but, I hoped it would give some detail whilst not being overly frilly or fussy. I used pages from an old (already battered) book and it was actually quite nice to quill with. I added some gold paint to gild the scrolls afterwards for a hint of bling. :)
After I had posted it I wondered if she really did love books whether she might be disturbed by my plundering a real book to cut up and make her card? Should I have slipped in a note to say it wasn't possible to save it? >_<
