This is going to Cindy, Mothermark, for her 5th anniversary here on Splitcoast and to say, "Thank you for all the huge amount of thoughtfulness, caring and smiles you share with everyone." 41,000 posts - an awesome achievement. This goes out in the mail Monday morning.
Started by stamping the blossom branches, dotting the blossoms with Copics and clear embossing after using Versamarker. Stamped Jillian, the 2 birds and the lamp post on separate paper, colored with Copics, cut out and clear embossed after using Versamark.
Stamped the 2 ladies at the table, colored with Copics, used Versamark and clear embossed. Stamped the buildings twice, colored with Copics, used Versamarker and clear embossed. Stamped the cobble stones using a Stamp-a-ma-Jig and colored with Copics. Punched the MS fence once in black and once in gray - cut off the bat wings, glued on and added the scrap polka dot dp, coloring the dots with Copics. Sponged the sky using a circle scallop mask. Glued on birds and popped up Jillian and the lamp post at 2 different heights.
This is also for the Ways to Use It challenge this week, which is to use people on your card.

Holy'o polka dots Sue! What an incredibly realistic street scene! The depth and perspective of your artwork never ceases to amaze me... it almost has a 3D quality to it. Beautiful coloring and shading. Cindy will love it!

OMG! I LOVE THIS CARD! I got lost in the description, but I know it was a LOT of work, but WOW, so worth it! Can I put in a request for one just like it? LUCKY, lucky Cindy!
Into my FAVS, just to look at it now and then! I don't have these images and even if I did, I don't have the patience, tools, or know how to make a card with all these details! Can't stop looking at it!

OMG! Your cards rock! I love the scenes you create! They are very artistic and fun! I left a comment on this earlier this morning but then shortly after that the site went down so it must not have taken!
I am tickled to get this card up close and personal! Yeah! It is so fun! I would live in a city in a heartbeat just becaue they have polka dotted curbs! Snort!
Note to self: Loose a whole bunch of weight! It would be fun to wear a polka dotted dress and look like THAT! Okay, I will let you know how that goes! Snort!
