Vanessa Vamp...

I have a wonderful sentiment from Ginger's House that amuses me - and I needed the right image to go with.  This image from Aliciabel fit my mental image to a Tee!

The new challenge for 613 Ave C is ATG/Optional Twist: Use Orange & Blue and 2 Neutral Colors.  I have been assigned ATG with an Aliciabel image.  Makes for an easy challenge - anything goes or play along with the color challenge!  The front porch gang put together some great projects this week - you can see their work and check out the specifics of the challenge at the link above.

IMAGES: 

• The image 'Vanessa the Vamp' was provided for my use by Aliciabel.  You can find it HERE in the Halloween section.  The image has a bat flying in the upper left - but I covered it up with my sentiment.  I wanted a little less cute and a little more class for my woman with a 'tude'!

• DP used for the background & the punched foliage - unknown source.
• Inside has a simple 'spray' of fern using the same DP from the front in the one corner.

• McGill punch used for the fern on the inside.

PROCESS INVENTORY

IMAGES: 

• The focal image is 'Patty the Skating Girl' - generously provided by AliciaBel for me to use for this challenge.  Thank you!
• For the focal image I used Paper Tole Technique to give her dimension. Printed 3 copies, colored them with Copics, fussy cut and 'paper sculpted' the images.  The layers were both glued in some places & elevated in others with foam tape to achieve the desired dimension.
• The sentiment on the front is from Stampendous.
• Inside sentiment is Good Stamps Stamp Goods - remember them??

PAPER:  

• Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.

EMBELLISHMENTS: 

• The embossed Birch trees on the blue background was created by a friend and given to me to use - so I have no resource info on this one.

• Glossy Accents was used on her lips and the pupils of the eyes.  
• Fence on the inside was created with a Martha Stewart punch.

INKS:

• The edges along the side of the pond were cut "Deckle" style and inked with a C3 Copic.
