Reach for the Stars

I enjoyed colouring this image by Penny Black while on Easter break. Here is my card:

My image is stamped on X-Press It blending card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image and background with Copic markers. The background is a little hard to see in the photo but it is a mixture of a few Copic colours randomly blended together. I've then added some Copic opaque white to highlight parts of the tutu and then randomly placed some dots in the background. I used #05 Lemon AtYou Spica glitter pen on the stars and also added a few random dots in the background around the stars. The outside is inked with Distress Ink Tattered Rose and then adhered to Bazzill textured Flamingo with X-Press It double sided tape. The image is then raised up with X-Press It high tack foam mounting tape.

Photo (with flash) showing the AtYou Spica on the stars and dotted around the stars.
And the Stickles Star Dust on the flowers.

My little tag is Jodie Lee Designs "Fairy Belle Collection" DP diecut with Our Daily Bread Designs Recipe and Tags Dies.
I've handwritten "Reach for the Stars" with a Copic multiliner (black 0.3 mm).

I've also coloured some Papercraft pearls with Copic marker YR01 before adhering them to the top right and bottom left of my card.

I added a bit of colour to the ends of the petals of white paper flowers and some buds with Copic markers R12, YR01, R00 and YR00. I then dripped a few drops of Copic colourless blender various ink from the tops of the flowers which drew the colour further down the petals. The flowers have then been spritzed with a little Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist "Vanilla Breeze" and, once dry, had some glossy accents and Stickles Star Dust added to some of the petal tips. 

I added X-Press It clear gel glue to the surface of the green paper leaves - I dribbled it down the middle of the leaf and then used the nib of the glue bottle to spread it out towards the leaf edges in a randomish way. I thought it gives the leaves a little more shine and adds some darker green patches (which I think makes them more life-like).
