This card was made for the Twisted Sisters Challenge, where we had to made another humerous get well card as last weeks were a riot... I have used this weeks Sketch Challenge, which I am really loving plus the lace/ribbon which qualifies it for the Flourishes Challenge....I love it when you can combine so many challenges, makes you think harder!!
Speaking of combining...this fabulous image comes from Shirley (aka Wannabcre8tive) and I have to say Shirley as soon as I saw this it took me right back to my childhood - it was like looking at a photo of my Grandmother on my Father's side...this is her...Amy Mavis, right down to the cigarette hanging out of her mouth and the curlers under that scarf!!! So I went from there and tried to create a loook from ' the good old days' I don't know about you, but to me the sponging on this reminds me of cigarette stains...and there sure were those in my Grandma's house...that cigarette NEVER seemed to leave her mouth - even for meals!!
The lace is from the stash that my friend and SU Demo Ann gave me, the CB EF 'Paisley' is borrowed from Hannah (aka bubblefrog) but everything else is mine!!! I do love combining RAK's and having something from as many as I can in a card!!!
Thank you for looking and for your comments, I always enjoy reading them....and psssst....is it just me...or do this ladies legs look like they need some serious waxing?!?! Can you see it!? LOL!!??
