Nick Bantock contest entry

This is my entry for a tribute to Nick Bantock contest. He is the author of the Griffin and Sabine books which I loved! Plus more.

There is still time to enter and the rules are here.

Here are some of my close ups. I had so much fun making this!


I had an old library card from the first book and used it. On the front of that are some metal wings and a piece of mica and a cigar tag.


I used some vintage stamps and made a hand done post mark.


A couple puzzle pieces and the number 5.


This piece of paper is tucked into the card and it is a copy of a french letter that I printed on vintage paper and then crumpled to look old.

See my entry here!

Hi Cheryl, I really love all the diverse elements you used as layers in your Bantock collage... the metal wings, puzzle piece, letter and stamped fragments work so beautifully together. Michelle
