A Bit Like Betty Boop - PDCC 38

Hi there everyone!  It's time to join in the fun over at the Play Date Cafe! This week we have a colour story and we are being sponsored by Artistic Outpost, so the design team have used their stamps to create their projects this week.  Our very own Lisa Somerville designs for Artistic Outpost so you must pop over and see what beauties she creates!

I chose to use this set called 'Cutie Pie'.

As you may recall I love Betty Boop and this little set just reminded me of her, and also of the old Lucie Atwell pictures. Love it!  The stamps really are lovely to work with.  I often find larger, or more detailed, stamps a bit frustrating.  I have to double stamp with my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get them right, but these stamped beautifully first time. 

For this challenge we also had a set colour story to work with, so here is my card;

and here are the colours;

I had put most of the card together but had the framed image centrally on the card, and it just wasn't working so I decided to put it down and pick it up again the next day. Do you ever do that?!  My Marmie was over and she picked up the card to admire it (Don't you just love Mum's - they are your biggest fans!!! )  As she picked it up the panel slipped off at an angle, and voila the card was finished!!!  Just that little change of the panel made all the difference.  Yay for Marmie!!!!

Here are the details of how to make it...

1. Cover card base with purple cardstock
2. Mat with green cardstock
3. Cut piece of lilac paper, attach panel in middle of card
4. Using border die cut two fancy borders in purple, adhere at top and bottom of lilac panel
5. Stamp image, colour with copics. 
6. Using nesties cut purple frame, adhere to image, attach using pop dots
7. Cut out 'fancy tag' in green and purple, assemble as shown, distress edges with purple ink
8. Stamp sentiment 'Cutie Pie', attach to card
9. Add gems to the girl's hat, her buttons on her jacket, and the little dog's collar
10. Die cut two hearts in green, stick onto frame
11. Add green twine to button and attach to card using pop dots
12. Thank Marmie for picking up the card so that the frame fell into just the right place!
