We're saying it all this week with a mailbox full of cards to the birthday gal, Louise. Thank you to Jen and Rita for bringing Louise to our TeaPot party!
For my card, I chose two of the Bingo bingos! Upper across Large Image, Bright Color, and Pop Up. Of course, the forever funny Lily Tomlin in her Ernestine character, in front of a very vivid lemon DP, and she is popped up with the hat headdress. My other Bingo was the middle row down. Adding the TH embossed Bingo ef and I 'crafted' the hat (from a Art Impressions stamp), coloring with Copics, fussy cutting, throwing some 'Martha' Glitter across the flames.
This card is also for the Sketch Challenge. Thanks to Cathy for bringing us a very linear sketch this week. I did take some liberties. My heart was in it to be sure!
Ernestine was glammed up just a bit with eyeshadow, lips and nails. A bold ear bob and a snippet of German scrap stars. And two vintage Bingo tiles spelling out 108.
I can't wait to see where our imaginations took us. Thanks for stopping by.

I'll bet Louise hasn't thought about Ernestine for years ..... and I'm sure she never saw her wearing such an explosive hat! Ha! Gotta love that earring that Ernestine is sporting!! Thanks for adding lots of giggles to Louise's birthday bash!!

This card is a blast! I haven't thought of Ernestine in years. She always made me smile -- just like this card. Love all the elements you added from the ef to the number tiles to the stars to the 108 birthday candles aflame on her very unique hat, Fabulously fun and so much texture for Louise to enjoy.
