Postcard Challenge

Hello everyone. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with my anniversary or the giveaways, but I wanted to share my entry for Kathy's February Postcard Challenge. 

I am not a real shabby-chic kind of person, so admittedly this was a challenge for me. I wanted her to be soft and floaty. This was about as close to that as I could get. The image is from Inkadinkado and stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and heat embossed. The rest was done using Distress Inks and a water pen.


After finishing the card I felt that she needed stickles, bling or something. I added one rhinestone and stickled the straps of the luggage and the scarf on her hat. I did have some awesome fibers to use but could not see where I could have put them. 

Anyway, this was my entry. I will try her again but with some different techniques. What those will be at the moment, I don't know. Oh, by the way, the corner punch that I used on this card is in one of the future giveaways. I love it!!!

It is lovingly inked.
Until then.
