Here is my card for today. The layout is based on Midnight Madness's sketch challenge #56. It is also my second submission for Art Impression's monthly contest. This month's theme is, "Feel like dancing". This character's name is Dotty. She just cracks me up! She's got a lot of skirt to color so my previous card I paper pierced and this one I covered up most of her body with the fence. Smart, aren't I? I used the vine to look like grass or some sort of foliage in front of the fence. I needed something in the upper left corner and this rub-on was perfect for it, because of course, Dotty is unforgettable. I added pearls around her neck, because she just needed a little bling on her ensemble. Thanks for looking!
You really brought Dottie to life...is that Frank Sinatra I hear singing in the background? This is adorable, Karen, great coloring and embellishment!!
ReplyDeleteAlways love your AI cards! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteShe does have a lot of skirt! Hey shut off Frank and turn on Tony Bennett instead! :) Good luck Karen!
ReplyDeleteOMG Karen, Dottie is out in full force today. You have done a fantastic job with her and I love how you fancied her up with those pearls. Love your fencing, vine and sentiment. She makes me want to get up and "dance"!!! She should have come to Priscilla's dance party. She'd fit right in. I LOVE your colors, dp and gorgeous flower treatment. Thanks so much for taking the time to play this week!!
