Today's card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The hat image is from Dragonflies and Sunflowers. The shoe image I received from Susie at Die Cut Dreams as a freebie. The tube of lipstick is from a coloring book! I got the idea for this card from watching old black and white movies which I adore. I was thinking of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman. The fashions make me absolutely swoon in their movies. The brooch that Ingrid Bergman wears in Casablanca has me mesmerized.
This card was sponged with Rangers Tea Dye Ink. I used red chalk for the flowers, hat band, and lipstick. There are gold brads used on the corners. I used a lot of diamond stickles that does not show up in my photos, but boy IRL it has the most awesome cast on top of that tea dye ink. I wish you could see it. I put some real feathers on my hat too. I made the flowers you see here on the hat and shoes. They are made with tissue paper and sponged and stickled. My tutorial or these flower is at my blog. The envelope is a 6 x 6 and can be found at Priscillastyles Store.

Gasp! Bearzi, this is outstanding work! Stunning use of inks and chalks, and those feathers are beautiful! I bet this looks even more utterly amazing irl with the stickles and all the different textures!

Feminine all the way. I love it, Bearzi. The hat, shoes, lipstick, it is all just perfect together. And, I can see that sparkle, but I can image it IRL. Wowzer, you really did an amazing job. I love to see the elegant fashions of long ago days, also. I wish ladies still wore hats a lot...I would be first in line to be sporting mine. LOL

Bearzi, you never let us down. This is absolutely AMAZING!!! I get lost in all the sparkle and elegance. Totally a stunner!! LOVE those flowers too. I'll have to check back on your blog to get the deets on those. Certainly, that should count toward your punch tally, don't you think? I wish I could see your cards IRL - I'd probably go blind, but I sure would be happy!! TFS!!
