twas an interesting Sketch Challenge this week! Gotta love the off square focal.
And perfect for my fashion plate 3.0 Lucy. I'll explain. I've been having lots of fun lately with this Technique Junkies Photo Art Stamp Lucy. But she was having trouble arriving at her intended forever home. I'm a Lucy is out there somewhere...if you run into her, would you please send me a PM. And then there was We're quite a pair who left my mailbox and decided she liked green jeans more than her intended destination, only arriving unopened in a second envelope almost a month later. I write all that to 'splain here is yet another grin inducing LUCY...you gotta luv LUCY.
Only I messed up with her hair. I had to give her my own idea of a fashion doo! Orange pom~poms and sequin hair babbles. Her nails are Stickles Glitter, a pearl ring. I placed her face into a retro mod television. Cut apart the sentiment which is a part of the TJ image. Added some square frames to build up the image.
The background was dry embossed with yet another retro theme. I used Rangers' newish Mixed Media Powder in 'Fire'. The right edge element was scalloped with an old Fiskars punch and I used a bit of real French black lace, a gift from snietje (Anita).
I am going to send 3.0 Lucy off with a sign for delivery option...that should do it. Thanks for reading, if you made it...you know how it feels...this little works of our he{ART}s....

If you are looking for this Lucy, she has settled very nicely into My Favs! Wow Susan this is brilliant...every inch is magic. Her hat is to die for! I love Lucy, she would eat those Kadashians for breakfast! I hope "I'm a Lucy" turns up safely and doesn't remain lost.
