You'll really have to use your imagination on this one, folks! Those brads are supposed to be olives on her fingers...
Just a quick story about this poor, unfortunate-looking woman--the artist who made this stamp didn't do her any favors in the 'figure' department. I tried my best (by shading) to make her a little more 3-Dimensional, but I think she just looks deformed now! I also tried to spruce her up a bit with some 'eyeshadow' and 'rouge', but she wound up looking more like a clown/working girl/Mimi from Drew Carey/(add your favorite cliche here)!
Also, do they leave the pimento IN the olive in the martini? I've never had one that wasn't fruity and/or chocolatey...
The sentiment was the best I can think of, but it's definitely changeable...anybody got a clever idea for the sentiment?
Anyway, now for the boring stuff: colored the image with copics, then masked the whole she-bang and sponged the background and table. Used Artichoke brads for the olives and red EP for the pimento. Clear EP on the glasses, some ribbon, and Voila!
TFL!

This cracks me up. She looks great. Reminds me of my son. He sticks black olives on his fingers and eats them that way. This is AWESOME. Really nice way to use your imagination. I am smiling as I am typing. I think you leave the pimento in the martini olive. Yum. Really great take on this challenge.

I thought she had green nail polish to match the olives in the glasses and she was thinking, "OMG, did I just swallow my acryllic nail?" This is hysterical - I love it.
