It's time for the November Challenge at
A Die for a Sketch
so I chose the Blonde Bombshell, AKA Marilyn Monroe as the image for my
card. This is a stamp by Travilla CHK020 made by Personal
Impressions.
There are only two rules for entering the challenge - one is to follow the sketch and the other is to use a die on your card or project. Here's your sketch:
I flipped mine and used papers from the Prima Romance 6x6 papers and coloured the image with Copics. I wish her hair wasn't so yellow but I couldn't lighten it enough so it's a dark blonde instead of a pretty platinum. The dies cuts I used were the Whimsy
Notables 1 die for the sentiment and the Magnolia Doohickey Doily Flower die for the flowers. The sentiment is one from Whimsy's
A Touch of Elegance set. Stardust dry fine Stickles were added to the dress and Tim Holtz super fine gold embossing powder was used around the edges.
Challenges:
Forever Friends - Anything Goes
Visible Image - Sparkle
Fab n Funky - Die cuts and punches
Die Cutting Divas - Anything Goes
