This is for Lisa's super fun Ways to Use It challenge - "Give us a laugh". It will come as no surprise that this is yet another crazy bird card. Here we have Claudette, great-aunt of Odette and Bernadette - you can see where the girls got their fine dress sense from!!
The background is from the left over background that Odette and Bernie appeared on a couple of weeks ago. The usual smack & squirt technique using distress inks and lots of water were used. The stenciling was done with diluted Dylusions paint.
Claudette was stamped in my MISTI with Versafine ink; I left the rubber stamp in place while I removed the image and painted her with Distress inks and an aqua pen. Before fussy cutting, I put her back into MISTI and restamped to sharpen up all the edges. I have run out of the Stampotique boots, so these are a knock off boots, actually each boot and leg are one piece. On a piece of cardstock I drew the boots and legs, fussy cut then glued into place. I dislocated one leg to bend it back. The lace skirt is from a beautiful assortment of lace sent to me by JodyLynn.
Lots of liquid pearls, a little floral stamp and a doodled border were added before adhering the panel to a kraft card base. I had a heap of fun making this, thank you for looking.
