I created this card with Carlene (Chatterbox) in mind, since she always had so many challenges for each card she made. I was proud of myself to do just three. She will be missed!
I used the TLC challenge to create my red background. For the CAS challenge (National Clean Your Desk Day), I used an embossing folder that's been on my table for awhile and the lady's photo from a packet full of photos I've had for a couple of years. I used a die to cut out the lady and backed her with the ribbon.
The sentiment was a rub-on that I've had on my desk for awhile also. A friend gave me some rub-on decals and sentiments, which I don't normally use. I'm glad to get some things off my desk! Thanks CAS challenge hostess Pam!
This card is also for the first MMJ Mixed Media Challenge of the year! Yay!

I really like how your TLC bg turned out...it's perfect for your vintage gal. That ef with the hearts is great, too ...it's just a small part but adds a lot of interest. I'm so sad about Carlene, too....

Gracie, Carlene would be proud of you for creating this card for a few challenges. Yes she will be missed.
Your card is wonderful. I love the sultry look on the lady's face and the BG is wonderful. Love it all. Thank you for playing in the MMJ challenge. Hugs dear friend

Love this wonderful vintage image. Charlene was amazing at finding so many wonderful challenges to add to her cards. I really will miss seeing her load more terrific cards to the gallery. A wonderful tribute with Charlene in mind.
What a stunning card. I love all the textural details. The rub-on sentiment worked very well. I haven't tried the new rub-ons but that might be something for my 2023 wish list.
