I decided to make my usual card and looked high and low for that stamp I “KNOW” I have - a blank open book. Nope, nowhere to be found (Can you tell I need to get more organized?). But I did find two stamps that, if properly cannibalized, might serve. The first is a Stamps Happen Inc stamp called “Frederick the Literate” , a riff on a Charles Wysocki painting. I stamped the image in Archival “Jet Black” and fussy cut the books from it:
