VINTAGE GLAMOUR, SOMEWHAT ENTITLED

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to another Alphabet Challenge is for Just Kidding/Funny card.

You still have plenty of time to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!


Playing along with this LITTLE RED WAGON Challenge 
#875 - Use a Stamp (ends 9/15)


I’ve always loved the movement in this image - I’ve tilted her even more to really get that skipping-along vibe. And of course the high fashion of the wealthy of the era - no athleisure out-and-about for those ladies! Fabrics were light and flowy and more beautifully colored than the black and white photos would ever indicate. 


SOME DETAILS

Our gal was stamped in black Memento ink, and colored in with Copics. Some gold metallic pen was added to the purse where brass rivets are. The purse was colored to mirror the fruit tones on her hat. 
Random fact: reddish-brown leather handbags were common in this era, often hand-tooled with patterns, and accented with small amounts of metal trim. 

Just a dash of gray marker helped ground her foot in the white space. 

The swirly under her purse was added as an after-thought to fill a too-blank space without filling up the white space! I thought it mirrored the flow of her hat ribbons nicely. 

Sentiment was stamped on yellow card stock and trimmed into rectangles to reflect her collar shape and color. The stamp came with the words in rectangle borders but it would be easy enough to get the same effect with a fine-line black marker. 

The white panel was corner rounded with a punch on opposite corners.
