Card Art with Copics: Elisabeth Bell's Little Miss Mouse

This lovely little fairy is happy to find her sweet little mouse friend passing by as they share a daily greeting.

I've used Elisabeth Bell's digital image, Little Miss Mouse, on a side-open card to share some magical and encouraging words.  Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image with a light coating of Star Dust Stickles painted over the fairy's wings and the rose on the hat of the little mouse.

I've temporarily adhered die cuts from a My Favorite Things Die-namics Cloud Trio set, airbrushed around them, then removed the die cuts to add dimension with Copic colors W1, W0, W00 and 0.

My handmade flower cluster includes Punch Bunch large, medium and small daisy punches.  Creative Impressions Bits of Bling white pearls sit in the flower centers.  Star Dust Stickles, lightly painted over my punched daisies, adds wonderful sparkle.  A few McGill pine branch punches add nice filler for my white netted and jeweled wire butterfly to flutter from.  An iridescent ribbon bow, made from a ribbon that I saved from a holiday candy box, helps to tie my flower cluster to the Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs die cut.

Layers of Bazzill Olive, Rain and Cool Cantaloupe cardstock with patterned papers from Kaiser Craft's These Days Collection "Reunion" and "Generation" provide the base for my card.  A Memory Box Charlotte Border adds a delicate touch to the top and bottom of a center block surrounded by faux stitching.

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Little Miss Mouse digi image.  I added a small dream sentiment from an Inkadinkado Sentiments set.

This view of the inside of my card shows a sweet sentiment from a Just Rite Cling Elizabeth O. Dulemba Bee Ride set.
