Okay, here's my story. I finally gave in and purchased a light box. Until its arrival, I am forced to take pictures after the sun goes down. Of course, I had to "up" the saturation otherwise there would be no color.
My hairdresser's birthday is next week, so I had an urge to get this done before I have to work the rest of the week.
Thanks Maura for the challenge. That color palette is awesome.

What a great card to celebrate your favorite hairdresser!!! Love how you brought the focus to this image with the stitched rectangle, and popped the gals up to make them stand out - away from the goodies in your BG paper! I need to 'keep away' from the goodies too, so i appreciate that they are checking out the "Glamour" mag for tips. Great coloring of these ladies!

So us! Love every little detail, the sweet treat background, like it's playing on a movie screen...we pause for this commercial break for a trip to the kitchen. Those girlies are having just too much fun. Nicely done. And let me know what you think of having the light box. Of course great job using the CC.

A light box! Woo Hoo, you're moving up in the world. I have one, but sometimes it just works better on my bath mat, so I use that most of the time, mostly just to keep you laughing. What a perfect card for your hairdresser. She is going to get a good chuckle out of this. This is a hoot as are you my friend!

What a fun card, Anne. Your ladies look as if they are getting the full treatment and having so much fun...only at the beauty salon. Ha
