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 is really gorgeous Sue! I adore this image you used and how you split the card, like your book is. You have truly made a card that does justice for your book of choice. ~Karen.

Fabulous looking, Sue. I love that embossing and splattering and that torn edge. You did a much better book cover than the real one! Thanks for a terrific challenge. So fun to see everyone's book covers and to make notes of titles to look for now!
