This card is for this weeks Sketch Challenge. which is all about the image being the feature...I was sent this 'Beach Babe' by our very own Deborah Forbes (aka debzi333) and have been waiting for the right card to use her on - you don't want to waste an image like this beauty!
I used a combination of chalks, texta's and glitter pens to create this 'leery' scene....even apply ROUGUE to her cheeks and adding blue highlights to that stylish grey hair LOL!!! Crystal effects has been applied to the table top, chair arms and the sunglasses and Kindy Glitx to the 'rock' on her finger and the ice in her drink to make it look glistening and wet.
The ribbon below the image says 'BEACH BUM and is part of a BRAK from Sue (aka Coffeestamper aka Perk) as is the blue ric rac that runs behind the mounted image.
Brads and paper piercing finished this card off....kept it fairly simple letting the image grab your attention!!!
Thank you for loooking - I hope it made you smile - let me know!!!
