Today's FS is Jennifer, aka Mother's Daughter. Jennifer has an amazing gallery, and I had so much fun browsing the many gems. But when I saw this card, I immediately thought 'retro'
I kept Jennifer's basic layout, but I changed the paper and the theme to the 50's diners. My image is actually much larger, so after coloring her with Copics, I scanned her image and resized her to a smaller version and printed her out. I still have the original to use at a later date. I wish these diners were still around. Loved to go there as a child with my sweet Mom and have a root beer float and play the juke box. Great times and great memories :-)
Thanks for taking a closer look - hope you like it :-)

Super cute card, Barb. We had the same diner where I grew up...great memories. Your girl turned out great, and I love when you get 2 for the work of one ( when you resize something and keep the origional). I have a whole stash of those origionals. Such fun, bright colors.

Barb, this is fantastic and would you believe they are still around! I so agree. They are really fun if you find one! I love your image AND your papers, so perfect for the theme and case of her card! This is SO fun and a lovely tribute to Jennifer!
