Fairy History...

 "The Enchanted Professor" can be
found here at The Paper Shelter

I have four grandkids who LOve school!!  So this qualifies in my opinion for "Fall Fun" - the latest Aud Sentiments challenge.   The sponsor provides 2 images for the DT to use - or we can use a TPS image from our files if we have any - and that is what I chose to do here.  You have one more week on this challenge to enter up to 5 projects for a chance at the prize.  Take a look at what the other DT have done - it is really interesting to see how an image can be used so many different ways.

PROCESS INVENTORY

IMAGES: 

• "The Enchanted Professor" is from The Paper Shelter.
  
• For the focal image I used Paper Tole Technique to 3D it.  I printed 3 copies, colored them with Copics, fussy cut and 'paper sculpted' [this is dry embossing the image from the back with a large ball tool].  The layers were both glued & elevated with foam tape to achieve dimension.
• The quote is actually not by Carl Sagan, but by Sharon Begley  according to The Quote Investigator:  "...based on current evidence Sagan did not create this quotation. Instead, the reporter Sharon Begley constructed the phrase. The quotation has been ascribed to Sagan because the passage at the end of the 1977 Newsweek profile article has been misinterpreted."  Either way, I find the quote quite delicious and sooo appropriate and I hope it inspires the grandkids!  

PAPER:  

• Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.
• DP used is from "7 Gypsies" and Tim Holtz'  "Ideology". 
• Inside layered with paper scraps left from the front.  Finished the 'frame' by drawing lines reminiscent of the wide lines used for kids to practice their penmanship - and then wrote the sentiment & reason for the card.

EMBELLISHMENTS: 

• The square Copper Brads are from stash.  
• The ruler is cut off one of the DP sheets.
• Diamond Glaze used on his glasses.

INKS:

• "Old Paper" Distress Ink used to ink all the edges & the pages of the book.
• Images were printed on an Epson WF-3520 printer 
• Hand colored with Copics:
