Betty Boop Inspired Card

My Dad's partner asked me to make a card for her (buxom!) best friend who loves Betty Boop. I've seen this Kenny K image used on other blogs and thought it would be ideal so have coloured it to look like the friend. I've used a Cover-a-Card stamps to create the background then scored diagonally to make a luxurious quilt effect. The flowers are handmade using alternating layers of coloured cardstock cut with the Tattered Florals die from Tim Holtz and then sprayed with water before scrunching. The card candy, lace and pearl brads were all coloured with ProMarkers to match.




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