A Vintage Octavia

Octavia is one of my favourite Polkadoodles collections - I never tire of colouring her. This card features Octavia Thinking coloured using Copics.

I stencilled the background using Creepy Foliage Halloween Stencil. I used pinks and browns for a more vintage feel. I love this stencil!

I attached her to a wooden frame which I slightly inked up in brown. A large burlap rose was attached along with other white and cream flowers, string and wooden embellishments. I finished off with some cream border anglais lace.
