This was a fun color challenge, but went another direction than I originally planned once I went looking for a good image to use. I also tweaked the sketch around a bit to accommodate my image.
I embossed the striped DP, colored the image with copics, diecut the waves, and assembled my layers, added the sequins, then the CE, to her glasses, earrings, bracelet, and drink. The inside says, "It's all about priorities!" I think she is going for the POOL BOY, for some obvious reasons, that I better not mention here!! That looks like a pretty big drink she is having, so no telling where her mind is! LOL
Thanks for stopping to take a look - I really appreciate it!!

Your card is so cute. Maybe with her huge diamond she will be able to entice a pool toy, I mean boy. Thanks for the humor this morning, a great way to start the day.

Ooh pool boy (she laughs). What a hoot, Sue. I love the CE you've used on this piece. The die cut waves, sequins, and background dp are all wonderful elements that "create the scene" for this humous card. Cheers to the golden years!
