I have really been struggling lately - lost my mojo. Have you been there. Well, between last week's Free For All, and this week's Way's to Use it, I knew exactly what I wanted to create.
The ways to use it challenge was to dig into our "favorites", and actually use a card we have faved to inspire us. The card I dug up is from one of my favorite stampers, Sallie (aka Hobbydujour), and here is the card I chose to case:
I did keep the polka dot background, but changed the color scheme, the DP, and changed the image to my favorite "girlie" stamp. I also made the image oval rather than keeping it rectangle.
With that being said, she fits last week's free for all F4A94 All Girlie. We were to use our favorite "girl" stamp, and I absolutely love this vintage diva. I colored her with Copic markers.
Thanks to Sallie for the inspiration, and thanks for stopping by and looking, and I hope you like it.
