Back to School Book Worm

This is just the cutest little book worm image.  It is an image from Jen at the CDAC Freebie Progressive Challenge that is going on right now.   It is so fun to play along, they provide you free images and every two weeks you have to post a card using one of the images.  Go ahead and click on this link for all the details CDAC  Freebie Challenge 
Since it is back to school time that was the theme of the images this challenge.  Also the challenge theme at If the Shoes Fits is back to school so I will also post this card there.   I was so excited to find out that my card was chosen as one of the Top 3 last week at If the Shoe Fits.
On to on card, I colored the image using my Copic markers and then added Crackle Accents to the book.

I had this paper in my stash for a few years and thought it would work well with this theme.  I finally used my Bakers Twine, I got it a couple of months ago because I love how it looks on so many cards I have seen but just have not used it till now.
Here is a closer look at the Crackle Accents on the book.  I thought about putting Glossy Accents on the worm but couldn't decide so I just left it off, guess I could always go back and add it.  What do you think, should I add it?

The apple I cut twice using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge from plain white cardstock then colored it using my Copics.  I did it that way so I could color the apple, stem and leaf separately.  The two layers are pop dotted.  The A-B-C I cut and welded using the new Cricut Craft Room out of shinny gold paper.  I added a pretty heavy coat of Glossy Accents to the top apple and when it was near dry I put the A-B-C on top of  it and right after I did it I though "Oh no, should not have done that" I wanted it to sit op top but it immediately started to curl and I thought I was going to have a mess on my hands and would have to start over.  Well I left it for a bit and keep checking on it as it dried further and pressing down each end of the letters till it finally held.  WHEW! I think in the end it worked out.

Well I feel like I went to school and learned a bit about Glossy Accents when it is still wet.  LOL
I hope you all enjoy your Labor Day and for those going back to school, I wish you a very good productive school year.
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love to read them, besides that way I knew you were here to take a peak.
