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 reminds me of when my nephew used to put black olives on his fingers when he was little boy! Someone taught him how to do that...hmmm, I wonder who that was? (LOL) This is a great card and I knew those were green olives immediately!

Fantastic imagination. At first I thought she lost her acrylic nails but it only took a minute to figure out they are OLIVES! Totally love your concept. Your coloring is awesome, too.

This is a fabulous card!! Love the image - I knew right a way they were olives, lol!! Your coloring is fantastic!!! When I saw this all I could think of was that she was on a diet and eating her veggies and leaving the alcohol! Thanks for sharing this fun card!!!
