I have the honour of being the Guest Hostess for this month's 'Tickle' Challenge - Covered.
I chose a book I am about to read called 'The Lace Weaver' by Lauren Chater, which was recommended to me. It says on the cover - A Haunting tale of love and war ... and saving a precious legacy.
The cover is split in two like my card and has the face of a lady down the right had side. I tore the edge of the smoky slate c/s and then sponged the edge of this and the edges of image with Pumice Stone ink. Stamped the branches in versamark and heat embossed with white EP. Used white acrylic paint to add the splotches above the embossed area. Then added the ribbon and black sticker letters for the sentiment.
TFL!

This looks like a book I 'd read ( if my eyes hadn't gone all wonky) Love the Panel with the torn edge and embossed branches. The way it's partially obscures that femme fatal makes me wonder already what SHE'S hiding . . .

What an amazing vintage look, Sue. The image of the woman is beautiful, very artsy, kind of Renoir. And the other side of the card is wonderfully done, the white embossed branches and the spatter are gorgeous. I looked up the book - I definitely prefer your card to the cover. Thanks for an intriguing and clever challenge. Looking forward to picking up a few book tips, too.
