Reading is FUN!

The challenge this week on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog is Reading Is Fun. Since I'm a great believer in reading and an avid reader, I knew I didn't want to miss out on participating in the challenge. I am a firm believer that it doesn't matter what you read as long as you do, and that if you can read you can do anything you want.

When I got ready to start my project, I first went to my Tiddly Inks digital folder, and I had a bunch of free book images, plus there's one at the Tiddly Inks Store right now. Now how can you be a proper Wizardess if you can't read and understand the creation of making magic potions so of course I had to have the image called Wizardette? I got the title of my book from the Harry Potter Lexicon. I used Photoshop to create my scene, with Wizardette casting a spell from the top of a stack of books. For the most part everything is colored with Copics, buy I did use some Tim Holtz ink pads to color the book pages.

The papers are from a free kit created by Jen Reed for Computer Scrapbook.Com. I also used Photoshop to create my sentiment. I can't give you the book sentiment, since the book is a Tiddly Inks image, but I did create some word art without the book. Feel free to grab either or both.

  1. I love the card. Don't you just love all the books from Tiddly Inks? I agree, reading is such a pleasure and a powerful tool.

    Your blog is fantastic, also.
