The background dots are a craft mag freebie-and the lines I made with a fine liner pen and ruler--note to self use metal ruler next time no little nicks in it!!!the sentiment and image stamps are from Acid drops and Whatnots I stamped the image three times (coloured with promarkers)and 3-D the hat and bow on bathing suit.The sentiment is slightly curved because try as I might it would not stick straight!!!

ReplyDeleteOh! Carol, I ADORE this card, what a fabulous image. Thanks for taking part in our challenge at Make My Monday. Caz. DT.
ReplyDeleteTerrific stamp--love what you've done with it. I think her bum looks perfect! For me, hand-drawn lines (and other mark making) are part of the artist's signature and personalize the work even more. I appreciate seeing them. The same goes for minor imperfections (like crooked sentiments) which add character and interest and should always be embraced!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant - love it!
