Strong Roots, Powerful Wings Encouragement Card

Notes:

• The button array from the Eclectica ESC36 Cling Mounted Stamp Set  reminded me of clouds.
• I misplaced my silver pen from the Bright Vivid Metallic Colorista Marker Set by Spectrum Noir or I would have used that!

1. Cut a piece of black cardstock to 10" x 7". Score at 5" and fold to form a 5" x 7" card.

9. Tape a piece of sticker paper behind the stamped sticker paper.

14. Place the last two button array masks over their counterparts on the image panel.

16. Lift the mask and use Copic markers to color the button clouds, fairy mannequin/dress form, and grass.
17. Use a silver gel pen to go over the metal part of the dress form. 
18. Set the image panel aside.
