This is for the CCW68 to use olive, raspberry, and blue, and to add pearls. It also works for the WT469 to use green. My son is reading the Great Gatsby for school which made me think of this fun digi stamp. The two challenges were perfect for this image. I masked the woman and lightly sponged old olive. Then I sponged the olive through dry wall tape. I also sponged the olive through a stencil for the larger green bkg paper. I love pearls so I gave the woman a necklace and some pearls in her hat. I was inspired by all the fantastic vintage cards that everyone else has been showing on SCS.

Beautiful card! You did a great job coloring the flapper. And I love the addition of the pearls on her necklace and hat -- it makes her look very glamorous.

Oh, I love the "flapper" era. Your vintage gal is fabulous, and I love that you gave her a pearl necklace and added pearls in her hat. The sponged drywall tape BG adds so much interest. A wonderful card.

I really like the two little pops of raspberry colour added in with the blue and green. Colour challenges freeze me stiff, and I have to work hard to make anything with them! Great contrasts between the chevron DP and the two different stencillings.
