I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. Sue (sue2 is guest hostess this week and she has a wonderful challenge for us called "Face Time." I really do not have stamps with faces so I did not think I could play until I found this fun stamp. This gal really reminds me of Zsa Zsa Gabor for some reason (yes, I am dating myself!). I colored her with copic markers, then added a lot of glitter from a jellyroll pen to the black lines on her frilly top, her earrings, and the scroll on her hat. I had to cut the image by hand in order to fit it into the teal die cut, and my cutting was not very good so I thought I was going to be starting over. I decided to use silver glitter stickles around the edge of the image and that salvaged this piece- whew! This card is really sparkly in real life and was a lot of fun to make too. Thanks for looking today! ~Karen.

Most times I do not buy stamp dies as mot fussy cutting is okay with me and you did great job fussy cutting your image. Liking the divided background and the frame for your image---neat card
Lovely and absolutely beautiful!!! The colors are so yummy and goes so great together! Your fussy cutting is great and your skill with comics magnificent Sis!!

Karen, your glam gal looks so pretty. The glitter stickles around the fussy cutting was a great idea since you didn't like it. I love when a piece an be saved. Such a pretty card!!!

It's the hat and what looks like a feather boa that remind you of ZsaZsa, I bet! She's gorgeous, very glam and stylish. And the framing is beautiful, too.

Karen, you made me laugh out loud with your comment of this gal reminding you of Zara Zara Gabor and I’m totally in agreement with you!! Haha! Classy, sassy and fun colors representing her personality!
