Back with my DT card for the current Octopode Factory challenge which is to get your inspiration from books. I've always loved books and have been an avid reader from a very early age - I do have a Kindle which is great for travelling but you can't beat having a real book in your hands.
For my card, I decided to use the Octopode Dormouse from the Alice in Wonderland collection, available here. As I have said before this is my favourite Octopode digi :) I wanted an old fashioned feel for this card so I used a clipart image of a pile of books and smudged some Distress ink all around the edges.
The sentiment is computer generated and does reflect how I feel about reading! So many wonderful books and authors out there - sometimes I can get lost in a book for hours (especially if the sun is shining and I can sit outside and read).
I would like to enter this into the following challenges -
