Surreal
when: Look ups spiked on April 15th, 2013
why: Used in some of the media coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Surreal means "marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream." The same word was frequently looked up after the 9/11 attacks. A relatively new word in English, surreal dates only to the 1930s. It comes from the name of the artistic movement known as surrealism, whose effect was often created "by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations."

Your computer and printer can be very useful tools in creating a card. You can use it as a light box to trace over images and you can run painted images through the printer too.
Remember: Whatever you run through your printer has to fit through the printer, and all images MUST be dry!!
