In Rosie's Book: Card Art with Copics: Crafts and Me Stamps Aia by Hannah Lynn

Why Rosie's Book?

While growing up, I had a dear friend, Renee, that lived next door and with whom I spent much of my childhood. We grew, in different directions, and went on our merry way. Many years later, I ran into her parents and they kindly reminded me of the laughs they still have over my book. “What book?” I wondered with a puzzled look. "I don't remember a book." Hardy laughter accompanied their response. At some time during our childhood, I tried to convince Renee about something that her parents didn’t agree with. I told her that proof of its truth could be found “in my book.” Naturally she went home and tried to convince her parents of the same thing but they weren’t falling for it. She needed an edge and told them emphatically, “It’s in Rosie’s book!” After they caught their breaths from reborn laughter, they let me know how “Rosie’s book” has been cited for many other things throughout the years. They’ve also mentioned that they’d like to see “Rosie’s book” one day. I can’t remember all of the things that I said were in “my book” but I’m sure my dear friend’s parents can recall much more than I ever knew about – LOL!!! So, here it is . . . my version of things you might find In Rosie’s Book . . .

This fabulous butterfly fairy poses mid-flight, her mini butterfly friends fluttering around her, to share warm words with someone special. Her name is Aia and she has been designed by Hannah Lynn exclusively for Crafts and Me Stamps. Aia is available as a rubberstamp (here).

I've used the "beyond the edge" technique with die cut ovals to shape my butterfly fairy. Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image . . .

Adding coordinating handmade flowers to my projects makes me happy. Punching shapes from my card scraps then layering them to form my flowers makes it so easy to do. Here's a closer view of one of my handmade flower clusters where I've lightly painted each flower with Diamond Stickles for added sparkle.

I've layered Bazzill cardstock with Hot Off the Press (HOTP) Paper Pizazz Vintage Yellow Flowers patterned paper. I've carried butterflies from my image onto my card by adding HOTP Pastel Butterflies Shaped Brads to each side of my image. The loving sentiment is from a Just Rite Spring Words set.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing Hannah Lynn's Aia image . . .
