I made this card for the MMSC65 challenge. This image came from Anne Ryan with my QFTD17 winnings. I colored it several days ago and really, really wanted to use it in the MMSC sketch no matter what the sketch. Fortunately, I was able to make it fit.
Then I saw this Mae West quote on the Google Quote of the Day and really, really wanted to use it with this femme fatale. And I got this new dotted Swiss paper and wanted to use it as well.
I rearranged and rearranged and finally worked it all in. One sexy lady, eh?
TFL.

Lorie, I think Anne neglected to tell you that this is another of her self-portraits. One of many thrown all over the SCS site. In fact, I know it is her cuz of her bluish hair, red lipstick and fake diamond ring she tries to pass off as real! You know the drs. at the BFC have been trying to get her off the juice for some time. Looks like we'll have to do another intervention. LOL!!
Okay, now that I'm done with my Annie Jo story, I have to say you have dolled this up perfectly. Your made it fresh with humor and elegance at the same time. I LOVE your quote, colors and that awesome ribbon treatment, not to mention your wonderful border punching. You did a terrific job!!
I will say this is one of the more flattering photos of Annie Jo -some of the other ones are quite hideous, so I'm sure she'll appreciate this even if she is in that bathing suit that doesn't flatter her figure at all!! SOMEBODY STOP ME - I could go on for hours at Anne's expense. What a bad friend am I????
Thanks SO MUCH for joining the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can come play with us again next week.
Hugs

Okay, I'm beginning to see what's going on here. You know me, I would never tell a mistruth about what I look like, so when that crazy woman above goes on and on about my BFC stay, you would think she would be proud of me, but no she's always the first in line to carry on about what I do and do not look like. Well, if this is really me, I love what you've done here. you've certainly projected my svelte body in an amazing way. Not only, that our Head Mistress, Priscilla, love all things purple. In my eyes, this is one darn swell card. You've created a fabulously fun card here!
