I was inspired by 2 items in the Close 2 My Art site. I thought that my Paula Best stamp resembled the style found here http://www.close2myart.com/shoppingc...eatured&page=1 and I combined that with this image http://www.close2myart.com/shoppingc...Big-Heart.html that had a Zetti type frame. I stamped the abstract woman image on a twinchie and then I doodled a black checked frame on kraft paper and applied glossy accents over that. By the way the pink cardstock looks much more neon and saturated in person..my scan kind of washed it out. I cut different length strips of bright paper and doodled on and around them to give it a Zetti type look. Zetti is folk art style based on the artwork of Teesha and Tracy Moore that includes bright colors, pointy hats, outlining, striped legs, doodling among other characteristics. I had fun doing this..what could be better than doodling in the morning?

This is a fabulous work of art, Polly. You really made a card that is SO like the objects in this art site. Your colors and the way you handle the subject are spot on.
