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.

Pink Kraft Card

Right, my apologies as I said i'd post this card ages ago but have only just got around to finishing it! This wasn't made for any particular occasion but as an excuse to try out my Prismacolor pencils when I first brought them. I've used just black and white on Kraft card to create a charcoal effect - I got the idea from this blog. I probably shouldn't have used pink again but couldn't resist it for that gorgeous flower on her hat...
