This one qualifies for both Bombshell's Ms. May's Linen & Lace challenge and the A Pirate Wench I Be VSN challenge. I'm so effficent. hahahaha
When I read that Ms. May's challenge was "Linen & Lace", my brain went and popped Leather & Lace, which triggered a song plant of Warren Zevon's Basket Case song.
My mind works in mysterious ways.
Both the pin-up and the digi outfit were colored with Copic markers. The outfit was coated with a layer of lustre cream rub-on which made the outfit look more like leather. The photo does not show that. Of course.
The layers are all two different finishes of FiberMark's Specialty papers that both look and feel like leather.
The Lustre rubons and the leather paper reflected back at me, washing out the details/shading of the coloring. I tried twice to get a better photo, but it's freakin' gloomy here today and I didn't want my camera to get wet.
Thanks for looking!

This is terrific. Your "leather" looks great. The image reminds me of photos of my Mom in her 20s. She and my dad rode a Harley and belonged to a motorcycle club. She was always so sweet, but looked pretty tough in her boots and leather jacket. I wish she were still around so I could show her this.
