Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's On Cupid's Cloud

This stunning little angel, showing a touch of the crack of his cute bottom as he sits on a sweet heart-shaped cloud, was released by Elisabeth Bell in February of this year.  While this digi image, named On Cupid's Cloud, surely portrays lots of love through the included roses and hearts, I thought I'd use him to show loving support to our 2012 Olympic athletes.

Here's a pic of my Copic-filled image.  I searched for far too long in too many junk drawers to find an unused lapel pin of our country's flag.  Instead I found an old sticker set from a promotional union mailer so I fussy cut the flag sticker and stuck it to the fishing line in hopes that it would appear as though my little Cupid was dropping some roses to our USA teams.  Yay!!!


I've layered The Robin's Nest Blue Stars on Red patterned paper with Bazzill textured cardstocks to create my side open card.  A QuicKutz diecut flourish adorns one mulberry paper flower clustered corner.  I've cut a Zva Creative self-adhesive rhinestone swirl to add some sparkle to each side of my image.  Diamond Stickles is painted over the angel's wings and borders the edge of my image.  A blue star eyelet adorns a sentiment from a Close to my Heart Card Chatter - Birthday set.  Here's a view of my card front showcasing my use of Elisabeth Bell's On Cupid's Cloud latest digital image . . .
