This week's Freshly Made Sketch was perfect to feature a vintage children's book illustration from my collection of discarded library books. This one came from a book called Owl at Home by Arnold Lobel.
Many of the pages had been scribbled on with an ink pen, but this one had been spared … I thought it was perfect for a Get Well card design. It coordinated perfectly with papers from DCWV's Natural Cardstock MatStack. All I had to add was a sentiment from Catslife Press.
I love being able to give discarded books a second life.
That is so cute! What a great way to re-use! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Love Arnold Lobel illustrations! Sweet as can be!
That’s an adorable illustration and makes a great get well card. And hey, if you ever have any “scribbled on” pages that you want to get rid of, I’d take them. I like to use them in mixed media collages.
LOVE this card! The pic is just so cute and the card put-together is great. 🙂
What an AWESOME card! Love it.
Fantastic card. What a great idea to recycle old books into cards! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
