This is for Misti's fun CAS challenge to use plaid. I said that in my bestest American accent, we just call it tartan here.
Using my MISTI, I stamped the image directly on to the card. First I used sepia Versafine, it wasn't dark enough so I restamped it using ground espresso Distress Ink.
Next I coloured her skin with Prismacolour pencils, then I did her dress with a Spectrum Noir marker. Her hat and hair were coloured with an aqua pen and various distress inks. I also added a few swishes of SN markers.
The sentiment and stenciled dots are done with ground espresso Distress Ink. Lastly I added a tartan scarf and matching headband on her hat.
I was so pleased with this until I opened the card....it looks like a dogs breakfast inside. I was so intent on making my card CAS that I forgot the alcohol markers would bleed through.....after I have a lay down from making a CAS card, I will decorate the inside.
Thank you very much for looking.

I love that sentiment, and I love how you have your cool chick decked out with the plaid on her hat and as a piece of her dress. You're so creative!! :>)
This is so creative Susie!! Not sure if I like your card or your story better......both are wonderful!! (my only complaint on the alcohol markers is the bleeding they are so good at)

This is so cool...love the image and your tartan accents The stenciled dots are great and that saying..well I think this card should be dedicated to all the women and men who will need to be strong in light of all the natural disasters that have occurred...

Susie, I love this unity girl. A wonderful CAS ( if you had not mentioned that the marker bled through, we would not have even known!!) I have had that same problem, I simply cut the front off and monunt it on a new folded cardstock with white or one of the colors used in the card. Still would be a CAS for the most part compared to some of the 3 and 4 layered cards I find in the CAS gallery all the time! Everyone seems to have different interpretations of that. KWIM?
Putting this in my favorites!!
