Jenn gave us a fun triple stamping technique challenge. I followed Joans great tutorial, the only change was to the length of the card.
This is usually a very serious looking lady, but dress her in black, give her hair as dark as night, with sunglasses to match, all that was needed was a string of pearls to completely change her look.
I used a dauber and black soot to gently give a hint of colour to her dress. I scrubbed the same dauber in her hair, then gave it a few extra flicks with an Inktense pencil. I coloured in her glasses with a black copic marker.
The sentiment is from a different Unity stamp set. Everytime I use liquid pearls I have to remind myself not to touch it .....the little smudge near her neck doesn't look so bad in real life.
Thank you for looking.

What a totally cool card, Susie. Using this technique in a tall, thin card looks awesome. The hint of pink coloring on the cheeks looks terrific. If you smeared the white, I sure can't find it, but the white sure looks terrific with the craft and black. I love the sentiment...very Hollywood. Right into my favd.

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely fantastic! I love the way you changed the look of that image and the sentiment is perfection! Straight into my faves, not because I could duplicate it, but because I want to be able to go back and look at it again and again!

Oh my goodness Susie she is beautiful! I love the coloring you added and the fantastic pearls. The smudge to those of us that did not know existed looks like it gives dimension to the card on the neck so it works perfectly on the card.
