In Rosie's Book: Card Art with Copics: Ladybug Crafts Ink Gossip Jess

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 . . .

Ladybug Crafts Ink carries a fabulous line of The Teenagers digital images featuring Jess and Josh. I've used Gossip Jess to share loving birthday wishes. You can find Gossip Jess here.

Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image . . .

I've layered Bazzill white, dark and light pink with Wild Rose Studio Spring Fling paper stack patterns to form my twisted easel card. Faux stitching provides a nice contrasting border. Lifestyle Crafts Large Circles dies frame my image. Wyla white ruffled lace adds a delicate touch. A Stampin' Up! sentiment from a Sincere Salutations set is popped up in one corner while Zva Creative pink pearls and Marianne Design's Branch Forest adorn the others. A pretty open-winged lady bug from an Elizabeth Die peeks out from a variety of handmade flowers, made from Punch Bunch punches that surround my image.

Here's a view of my card front that includes my layered flowers lightly painted with Diamond Stickles for sparkle.

This view shows the inside that includes a moving Birthday Love Peace stamped sentiment from Endless Creations. I've lightly embellished with a Marianne Designs Branch Forest, an Elizabeth Dies closed wing lady bug and a handmade yellow paper white flower with a pearl in its center.

Here's a view of my twisted easel card, open and ready for displaying loving birthday wishes . . .
