This is for Lydia's fun mixed media challenge - we are sending get well wishes to Alison in New York. Alison is one of the very special people that makes the magic happen behind the scene here at SCS. I hope the magic of Miss Krazy Kardashian puts a smile on Alison's face. A get well message is written on the back along with a little magnet.
The background started out life as an A4 piece of cardstock. Start with Dylsuions Ink sprays (spray onto aluminium foil, squirt on a bucket load of water and dunk cardstock in it). Now do a few smacks on the foil with distress inks, squirt on water, dunk cardstock in inky puddle. Using the same piece of foil, dribble some Izink on the foil and squirt on a lot more water. Lay the cardstock over the Izink. Izink is really thick so you might need to firmly bang your hand on the cardstock to get the colour to take. The white part in the top righthand corner is a good example of where the colour didn't adhere so well, but I liked the look so I left it.
Once cardstock was air dried, I cut a 4" wide panel for this project. The remaining cardstock goes straight into my stash for another day.
Miss Kardashian was stamped on a piece of mixed media card from my stash. Her hat and handbag are stamps from an Art Deco stamp set by Creative Stamping - fussy cut and add liquid pearls and white paint pen. The shoes are knock-off Unity boots, slightly modified.
Normal leggins' were never going to work with this outfit, so fishnet stockings were created. I stamped a Prima fishnet stamp onto a scrap of cardstock using StazOn gothic purple ink, then lightly swished a foam blender containing traces of walnut stain distress ink to take the harsh white look away. Using a piece of acetate packaging, I drew the shape of the legs I wanted to make sure they would look ok. Lay the acetate over the fishnet cardstock and cut out the shape.
Add background stamping - the city skyline is a RAK from sweet Kathleen Lammie. The water drops are hand-drawn using my favourite ever MM challenge, Lydia's MIX105 here. The doohickies and doodled border were added befor adhering Miss Kardashian to the card.
I had heaps of fun making this, but I couldn't get a good photograph, it is much brigher in real life. Thank you for looking.
EDIT: After reading Ellen's (Eager Beaver) comments and laughing until I leaked, I can see that Miss Kardashian's leg is upside down LOL.

OMG - your Kardashian "chick" is amazing...creative, fun, delightful, and you are a creative genius! I love everything about this card, but my favorite thing is the fishnet stockings and the legs! That chick is walking tall with style. I can't stop looking at this, and neither will Alison; this is a super picker upper!
