fun outta the box challenge, Julia! I guess I used alcohol three ways today, the biggggggg bottled of Champagne, Copics and the fun sentiment from Inkidinkadoo! Have a look and let me know what you think.
I decided to go small with this challenge and create an ATC. When I read the description of this Ways to Use it, I knew I had just the right image, a RAK from artystamper. This woman and the sentient is a photo art stamp from Inkadinkadoo. Julia had sent me a stash of vintage look images that she thought were "just my style" and even wrote what company the images were from!!!! I had to use the Queen of HEARTS as the base for the ATC. I added a bit of green/gold mesh and then a torn edge of paper from Memory Box 'Gingercake' Holdiay papers. The woman was cut from the main image and colored with Copics, several shades of pink and the Spica glitter pen in sterling. She is adhered tight to the train of her dress and then raised on foam mounting squares as you look up her body. The BIG bottle of Champagne is from Anna Griffin's clear arcylic set...inked with Memento on glossy photo paper. Cut the sentiment to make it fit onto the ATC...colored it with ChalkBox pastel olive. Stapled a tiny bit of pink ribbon to the beginning of the sentiment to draw the eye. There's also a ticket to the Majestic Theatre tucked into the top edge...this is from a ticket collage from Tim Holtz. A vintage velvet fuchsia flowers finishes off the gal who needs a biggggggger glass!
Thanks so much for taking a peak into my arty vision today. I love to read your comments!!!
