Happy Monday! I thought I'd start the week out with my newest rubbah from Stamping Bella...from the brand new Ketto stamps that Em released on Friday, please welcome Margarita!!! I love her little tipsy tilt...looks like she's had one too many! LOL!
The layout for this card is from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #8. I knew I wanted to use bright colours for Margarita, so I chose papers from the Basic Grey Marrakech line for the bright blues and oranges. I stamped Margarita with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured her with copics. There's a smidge of paper piecing on her skirt. I coloured over the stars with an orange Atyou Spica pen for some shimmer, and Margarita was cut out with Nestabilities.
I paper pierced aroud the base layer and ran the dark blue paper through the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I didn't even have to sand it to get the scuffed look on the dots...it was meant to be. For the scallop border I punched a piece of pacific point with the scallop border punch and added some 5mm orange crackle Bella Dots to each scallop. The polka dot flower is from Dana's stash (cause lucky me...I get to use all her stuff while I'm here visiting) and I finished the center with a 10mm orange crackle Bella dot.
This is another of those cards that just makes me happy. The image is darling...LOVE the new Ketto stamps, the colours are bright, and I love margaritas!
