Thanks lunar-rabbit!
That means a lot coming from you, I take it you have some artistic training from your bio.
I did put some of my heart and soul into it, and I like the idea of adding my image to those of the faeries and mixing our energies.
Yes I did it all on my computer. I scanned an photo of my backyard and then scanned the image of me. Actually both images were much larger, I "cropped" them. Of course the backyard was regular photo size (wider than it was long) and in the childhood photo, my sister and cousin were to the right of me. I removed them as they did not seem necessary to the energy of the deck.
After the two were "cropped", each in it's own document. I copied the childhood one and pasted it onto the backyard one and resized it a bit. Then I ran some searches on the Net for faery photos. And found that one and copied and pasted it in....and resized...Then kept printing and resizing the whole until I got it down to exactly the size of the card.
Hope I didn't bore you to tears with the details. LOL
Actually I do need to attach it to the card image. LOL I took a chance the other day as the image came out so nicely on the shiny paper, I took a deep breath and tried printing it directly on the card. Which unfortunately was a better idea in theory than in practice, The ink did not "stick" and beaded up in a big mess. I tried to wipe it off, but the front of the card has a smeary mess on it now. LOL So that's a warning to anyone who tries to print ON the card.
Other than that, I made the image exactly the same size as the card, with a white border along the bottom where I wrote "Card 0" and "Faery Guide". I also think it is kind of cool to have my handwriting on it too, as our handwriting is so much a part of who we are too. But yes, I will have to glue it. LOL But I am sure I will be happy when I get it all done.
I am off today to see if I can find and art store open and find something to meet my sealant needs. Then I will take a deep breath again and glue and seal it. Of course I will try the sealant on the test copy first.
Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!
