Ethel in Swimsuit

 

Today is the 15th and this is my card this month for our The Creative Crew!  We are a group of 7--Jeanette, Carol, Darlene, Lorraine, Terry, Tracie and me. Each month will be a new challenge posed by one of the members sending out a kit. This month, Carol sent out two funny images from a retired Rubbernecker Stamps set called Ethel in Swimsuit, from the old characters collection.  She included some hilarious sentiments from a Dylusions set.  She included some beautiful black and gold patterned paper--Carol's signature colors!

I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers--yes, Ethel has been out in the sun a long time as she has quite a tan!  I had a hard time picking which of the 4 funny sentiments to use, but I thought this one was perfect for the purple and pink polka dotted bikini Ethel is modeling!  I picked two of the patterned papers for the background and a strip for a pop of gold and pink!   I added some Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces--Purple Glitter Dots as I am sure Ethel is the queen of bling!  This was a very fun card to make and I am imagining who I can send this to!

I hope all of The Creative Crew Gals enjoy my card this month.  Please be sure to stop in to see what fun crafty cards are posted this month.  All of the blogs can be found on my left sidebar.  Our teammate Lorraine does not have a blog, so please check out her card in her SCS gallery.   I am sure you will enjoy all of the fun holiday cards!

We will be back in March with another challenge that Jeanette and I will pose to the group.   Be sure to check in with us on the 15th to see what fun is planned!
