I made this card...trying to recapture some mojo! It was for a friend's birthday. I was trying to create something special just for her. I had lots of ideas, so I decided to create a multi media card.
I watched Mike Deakan's youtube video suggested by Jayne for MMJ02, "Lost Creative Mojo Color Therapy Neutrals." I was just going to stick with neutrals, but decided I wanted some color for this creation. Sorry but I just wasn't in the mood for neutrals. Am I kicked out Jayne?
I used several different stencils to create my background with blue and black. Then I stamped some images in black. For the woman, I stamped her directly on my background, then stamped her on white and added some red lips and eye shadow. I cut out just the head and hat adding it to stamped image. I used a glittered black brad for her hat and part of a paper flower, adding more glitter and some black details. I used a plaid ribbon for her scarf and a sequin.
I used a ribbon and gems to attach my TH metal sentiment: "live the life you've imagined." I added a swirly black die cut behind it. Then, over the course of 2 days, I added more ephemera: butterflies, world eyelet die cut, some gems, glitter, star chipboard, more butterflies, sequins, gold dots. I think that about covers it. I removed a few things, let it sit a day and made a few modifications...then, said enough already! So I mailed it out! I hope she likes it! LOL

There are theories that both red and blue are neutral so I think you are safe!!! I could argue you out of trouble with the challenge police pretty easily:
Plus my Mom said you have to wear red lipstick with everything and then blue jeans go with every color!
Back to your creation. Wow. So many details and soooo many fun things. Love the girl and her scarf but also love the bit of glitter and the circles - so many stories here.
Fabulous! Hugz
