What's Shakin?

Evening all

I made this card the other day on a whim, nice break from Valentine's cards hehe :) Haven't done that for a while! I primarily made it to enter into the Kraftin Kimmie's Facebook Krafty Krop challenge.

I used the image called Fanny, apparently it's really old but I only got it for Christmas, so it's new to me :) I was a waitress in a 50s style diner for 6 or so years, not on rollerskates though as that would've been disastrous! But I have many fond memories of my time there, so this image just needed to be mine :) I paper-pieced her dress and hat.

Ingredients

Image - Kraftin Kimmie

Papers - Maja Design "Summer Crush"

Spellbinders rectangle die

La La Land heart banner

Ribbon and lace from Ribbon Girl

Coloured with Copics

I used Antique Linen Distress Ink and a sponge to colour the paper around the image.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Inky Chicks - love letters and/or hearts

(I went for hearts)

Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge - Wonderful Wednesday Anything Goes

Crafty Friends Challenge DT card - Girly

Good evening

Today, we have the latest challenge starting over at Crafty Friends. The theme this fortnight is GIRLY. We're very lucky to have two wonderful sponsors this time round:

Oddball Art Company

and

Angie's Cards and Digis

For my card, I used a GORGEOUS Angie's Cards and Digis image called Kitty in Flowers.

Isn't he cute?

He's not too sure what to make of this, but he thinks he'd look dashing with a bowtie.

So here's my card. I tried to go girly with no pink as a personal challenge, and I think I managed well enough :) I rarely use orange things at all, so this was a nice change for me.
