This is for Polly's terrific mixed media challenge - to use "text"from a book, magazine, etc and then die cut it and use on your card. I am also popping this into the very first MISTI Monday challenge. For all the details for the MISTI challenge click MISTI Monday August 2017 by MISTI Monday at Splitcoaststampers
The background was done using distress inks and the Smack & Squirt technique and blending. Smack distress ink pad onto aluminium foil, squirt on a lot of water, then use a foam blending tool and scrub it on to the card panel. Build up the colour by drying the cardstock with a heat gun before adding more colour.
Once dry, I did the border stamping using MISTI, this was a fun technique! I then coloured the weirdo girl with Prismacolour pencils and a dash of Copic marker over the top. She was stamped onto photo-copy paper, coloured, then fussy cut.
I used text from a cookbook and die cut a little fence and a pair of gumboots.
Thanks for looking, I hope you all have a happy, inky weekend.

Your card is just an explosion of Color! Spectacular! I'm really enamored with your border and will have to look for it online. I love the idea of the text on the dies. Great Idea, isn't it? Looks Good!
Your little Weirdo sweetheart is a Style Maven!!! I'm sorry, but I just have to name her....Anadora Lee. (Can't control myself). She is just too TOO Fabulous for words! Wish I had the guts to do my hair like that. But my kids would have me shipped off to a very small padded room somewhere where it's too far to visit often.

This is absolutely amazing in every way Susie. I do not even know what to say except this is fabulous! My hair looks like this gal's hair, but not nearly as cute! I am constantly delighted by your mixed media masterpieces Susie! ~Karen.
