Card Art with Copics: Into The Word by Sara Burrier

Crafts and Me Stamps carries a wonderful array of fantasy art images.  I've made some time to play with a recently released digi image by Sara Burrier named Into The Word.  This sweet fairy is sitting atop a mushroom while reading her favorite book.

Here's a view of my Copic-filled image.  I've painted her wings with Diamond Stickles for shimmer.  This image is very long and thin and would make a magnificent image to use for a bookmark.  I've sized her at 4.49" high by 1.46" wide.

I'm always thrilled to be able to make my own handmade flowers to coordinate with my project.  Take a look at these roses I made using All Night Media medium and small blossom punches, and a Punch Bunch leaf.  I punched my blossoms using scraps of My Minds Eye word paper because, after all, my fairy is Into The Word.  A few Anna Griffin Fern punches are appropriate to use with a mushroom image too.  Here's a closeup of one of my handmade flower clusters including My Minds Eye Madison Avenue "Sisters" buttons and embroidery thread bows.

I've layered Bo Bunny's Gabrielle Collection patterned paper and wubieprints lace paper with Bazzill brown.  My Purple Cow's deckle edge cutter and Paper Shapers deckle edge scissors give my paper edges a torn look.  I used a sentiment from My Favorite Things.  This photo shows my completed card front showing Into The Word by Sara Burrier.
