I had just finished two cards and was stumped on which image to use next. Nothing was sparking my interest, so I turned to my trusty little Print Artist program and picked out this phenomenal clipart image. One look, and I was hooked on her. I am loving vintage images lately but have always been intimidated by them since I don't have much of a vintage stash. But when I saw her, I knew this image was the beginning of my next card and figured, well gee, I guess I'll just go with it and figure it out. I knew how I wanted to color her right away but needed the help of Mojo Monday's current sketch challenge, MoJo Monday #168, to which I am entering this card.
Isn't she just gorgeous?! And those curls?! To die for! The photo really doesn't do the image justice! I used pencils to color this sweetie and her puppie, an Inkadinkdo stamp slathered in Colorbox Sky Blue ink for the sentiment; with pearls inked to match. The trim is Making Memories Noteworthy Addie and everything is distressed and curled for a more vintage feel.
wow...great card Sara...love the image...too cute and you did a fab job coloring it...the sentiment looks great in that color and all the distressing really gives it that vintage look.
