Christmas Book Week Celebration - Day Five
You know what three things really thrill me? #1 ... Details.  |
I love the musical notes! I love the little boy's expression! There are SO many lovely little details in this book... And all done in Alicia's signature soft, sweet style. |
#2... Die cuts!
 |
Okay... so any excuse for a die cut is good enough for me. But you know what's really special and meaningful? When it's done with thoughtfulness, purpose, and a design specifically intended for its audience. Functional fun! |
#3... Spot gloss!
 |
Spot gloss is so great when used effectively. When it's not, you wonder why it is there art all (at least I do). No worries about that here! The cover spot gloss is used sparingly but very effectively. The book cover is a soft, velvety matte finish, which works perfectly with the spot-glossed title and angels. It's just the little "extra something" that elevates the cover art and design to the next level of awesome. |
