You're a Star! and My 1st Copics Experience

Hello again,
I am very happy to have a card to post tonight using my new COPICS!
This card was made for my niece Jenae who was quite crushed after not receiving an award at school. Only 2 children did get awards in her class, but in Grade 1, I think each child should get recognition for something they are good at, or improved in over the year. (That was the norm all through my Elementary Years)-I never received an award for spelling)
Anyways, now this is where my card comes in. After hearing how upset she was, I pictured this little fairy sitting on my desk that I had finished coloring and told my sister Jen that I would make Jenae a special card telling her how proud I was that she finished Grade 1 and send it in the mail. I hope it lifts her spirits.
Oh, and of course I had to encorporate a few challenges into it...

Here are the products I used:

Close To My Heart: Cranberry, Honey and Sunny Yellow CS, Sunny Yellow and Sweet Leaf Inks, My Legacy Writers Black Pens, "Flurry" Dimentional Elements,Clear Sparkles

COPICS MARKERS

Glitter Ritz-Light Gold
