Thanks Emily for a stunning color challenge today! This is such a beautiful combination.
When I came across this stamp at Big Lots recently, I couldn't resist adding it to my sentiments! Don't know if this would apply to us creative artists...but who's got time to keep a journal when it's so much fun creating art? And I just had to use this Marilyn stamp from Viva Las Vegas. I inked her with Adirondack pitch black and colored with Copics. She is popped on foam. My sentiment is from Dawn Houser for Inkadinkadoo. Again I used Adirondack ink. All images (including the spiral pad by Graphic Rubber stamp) are stamped on GP white cs. I restamped the pen with TH di antique linen and embossed in clear. It is slightly popped onto the pad. I cuttled/nested the polka dot scalloped rectangle and then cut a larger mat in SU soft sky which was also embossed. I used a B Line cube for the eyelet twill trim directly to the Basic Grey paper. I added real eyelets for texture. My piece of lace is dyed with the TH di antique linen...as close to kraft as I have. I finished it off with a expoy button from MM and a bit of blue ribbon. The Basic Grey paper is cuttled with the CB diamond embossing folder. And then mounted onto unknow black cs.
I am so inspired by the lovely creations in the Fan Club this month...especially Kharmagirl's Marilyn...If you're not a member...you're missing out on some awesome talent...certainly WELL WORTH the price of supporting OUR community. Oh and by the way, there's a fabulous 7 minute You TUBE video on Marilyn Monroe's Wardrobe if you are interested. Thanks so much for reading this to the end and of course, please tell me what YOU think!
