For the TSC challenge, we had to make a card with the theme of leather and lace. Yikes!!! I SOOO not good with leather and lace!
I chose Sassy Susie and made her a hip grandma with a gold lamee top and black leather pants with metallic gold boots. And NO, she does NOT have a disease......these are SUPPOSED to be WRINKLES! LOL! Poor Grandma.....good thing wrinkles don't hurt, huh? LOL!
I colored with Prismacolored pencils, gold stickles, paper pieced the black pants and a gold metallic pen. I cut out with nesties and added a swirl punch and black pearls.
The lace is from my stash. The sentiment is also cut out with nesties and black pearls added.
Definitely not my best work! But it is what it is!
What do you think?

Too funny Lesley! She does look a bit older than usual. I don't want to say too old in case it's for someone in the groupLOL. What pretty scrolls and nestie! Well done on the wrinkles and the chuckle. TFS
