This week's TSC challenge was to make a card inspired by your favorite color, something in your home or yard, or even something you are wearing. My inspiration came from my patio and the wonderful vines, entangled in my iron trellis and patio cover. I love my patio and the peace it holds. On my patio, I feel the cool breeze and enjoy the music from the little finches in my trees. It is my favorite place. This is also the place where I get to talk to my sweet friend Giggles each Saturday, and she inspires me everyday! I worked on this card while talking with her this morning. Thanks Giggle Face- you make my cards better!
I stamped a background using Watercolor Minis, and stamped French Script overall, popping up a watercolored Rubber Romance image. This card is for Brianna, (DD of Jujubugwon), who is leaving for the first time- to Europe with the People to People Foundation. Can you imagine, only sixteen and seeing the world! I am so excited for her!
I colored the Diva's hair to match Brianna's, including her wild hot pink streaks. The car has a layer of fine glitter and Crystal Effects. The wheels sport some of the finest pink bling too! (Sorry Tater, pink is a fav of mine, you know!) Lol! I used a section from a Shapabilities to mimic my iron trellis, and added more pink bling. The sentiment on the bottom panel was a gift to me from Brianna's mom, Julie.
Everyone is welcome to play in the Twisted Sister Challenge each Friday. Just add TSC0625 to your key words this week so we can enjoy your creations too! Thanks for looking!
Vaya con Dios Brianna!

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah ...Big Fat Smile I Love this Pat!
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
she said baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start
Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Wishing Brianna a fun and wonderful adventure! What a way to start it off with this beautiful card to celebrate!!! Love your style Pat you are very talented Sistah! Does your patio have a "chair"? One that rocks? Move over, I'm coming to sit and sing witcha. Everybody should have a place to enjoy what God made. Just sit, rock, breath, smell and then burst forth in a joyful noise. Ignore the back of the bus boohs when you start to sing though. Remember, they are just jealouse! Love you and all my Sistahs.

Oh Pat, I have been admiring this card and have just now thought...hey I didn't comment on my little Patti's card. So here it is now...
Love it! What's to say about a girl driving in the sun, wild wind in her hair, and free! Awww, to be young again! Great details you added here, the three thingys up there with the pink pearls. The sentiment, and that cool sparkle, shine or gloss! Wowzer darling! Good having you on the "pone" saturday, sorry about the noise. Pierre has finally gone back to work this morning...ah but he'll be banging those nails again tonight!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....
