It is so hot here, my photo caught on fire while trying to photograph it out side in the 100 plus plus plus heat! Guess I shouldn't have tried to take a photo outside ... LOL......or maybe it was that green bikini that caught the photo on fire......NOT. It is the faux burnt edges technique for today's challenge. Just had to give it a try........details of what I did......
Found this old photo on the internet, so retro. Cut it out with deckle scissors. Did the faux burnt edges technique set aside.
Stamped my floating Jackie in the green bikini. Hot hot hot! Scanned her to the computer and made her a tad smaller than she actually is. Colored her with copics, cut out and popped up in the Motel Pool.
Made a 60's bg for this picture. Put it on a white card sponged cool caribbean. Added the sentiment thing.
Well, I think I will go join Miss Jackie in the pool.......TFL :0)

Oh, so it's a little bit warm over there today, huh? Girl, you must have forgotten the year it was 111-117 for 10 days straight in Sacramento. All I could do was lay on the couch with a malfunctioning fan and A/C running 24.7. And, gee, here it was 100 today and already you're making up stories.
I thought the holiday inn was your customers. How adorable is this one. Only you...only you I swear!

Wow! This is amazing! I love how you paired the photo with a stamped image! I feel your pain..I'm in Fresno, Ca. and we've been hit with 108 degree heat. Feels like a hot oven on broil. I want winter back!
