October, October

 

This is my card for the Library Challenge where the book this month is October, October.

I'd never heard of this book but I am familiar with the artist who illustrated this cover, as she illustrated the covers of the Raynor Winn books.

I've taken my inspiration from the title and gone for an autumnal card. I managed to fit a Lavinia owl in and also a sentiment which says Spread Your Wings and Fly which reading the synopsis I felt could be a theme in the novel.

The materials are all from Papercraft Society boxes by John Next Door and Crafty Individuals. With old cardstock from Hunkydory cut with the 7x5 frames from Maximumcrafts. These frames are giving a new lease of life to a lot of my old cardstock. I cut the base leaves from a background I had made and then cut the overlays in gold and brown.
