Whew, what a ride! Going into Susan aka One4Joy's gallery is quite the thrill ride...something unexpected around every corner. Congratulations to the reigning queen - an honor well deserved. After much perusing and drooling I chose to make a timid CASE of this creative masterpiece: tattoo...O4J by One4Joy at Splitcoaststampers
Stamped Rubbernecker Greta x2 on shades of Bazzill blue CS in Versamark and clear embossed (it is easier for my aging eyes to see embossed lines on dark CS). Stamped the lighter blue image and one on Flourishes cream CS in Memento Tuxedo black. Cut out all and paper pieced the outfit on the cream image, colored hair & accessories with copics. Mounted on the panel of lightest shade of blue CS with a non-pieced version as an echo/shadow. Tied and wrapped the bow and added the much more pedestrian hardware and sentiment. Asymmetrically mounted on the darkest CS, then on a cream card. Added the pearls and done.
Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day!

Ooh, what a great card for Susan! I love the paper pieced image and the bg image. And, the hardware with the sentiment is very nice.

Of all the images I have, this is really my most favorite one. I purchased this 3 years ago and have never tired of using it. I love your interpretation of Susan's card. Your design is spectacular and the colors are so incredible together. Of course, what you've done with Greta is beyond fabulous.

I'm back and after just sitting and looking at your case, I have to say, it's wonderful! Those blue hues are perfect, the delicate ribbon reminds me of the silk on my card. I think you created an awesome card...I can't believe I don't own Greta...she is one very sassy lady.
And that sentiment...oh so true...being a Southern lady, I have quite a few hats in my closet.
I am so glad you took that roller coaster ride and brought this artful card. Thank you.
