Happy Spring to those of us on this side of the world and Happy Autumn to those on the other! It's been Spring here for 9 whole days and Sydney has been putting on a wonderful show, with lovely sunny days and blue skies. I want to spend all my time outside enjoying the warmer weather, after my hibernating ways through Winter.
We have a new challenge over at The Squirrel and The Fox, and this one should be pretty popular!
ANYTHING GOES
Now I am sure you have just created something that's perfect - so make sure you head over and enter for your chance to win 5 free digis from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More.
I made this card for my friend's sister in law. She's a party girl and seems to attend more than her fair share of dress up parties, she's even been to a Jersey Shore party. I bought this image especially, Kenny K's Freida Flapper - isn't she wonderful? She looks like she's been captured mid Charlston, dancing up a storm with her cigarette in one hand - I guess people must have danced quite far apart in those days with such a high risk of setting your neighbour alight!
I decided to keep my colour combination very simple, just pink and black. I finally had a chance to use the black lace from my grandmother's collection and now I think I will be using it a lot more!
Frieda was coloured with copics, and the papers are Carta Bella "Paris Girl". I thought they fitted the image perfectly. I added some matching pink pearls and black gems. My favourite embellishment was the sparkly gems that I stuck to her headpiece. I'm not sure the photos do them justice, they sparkle brilliantly under the light.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Tracey, love this card. Great colours and colouring. Not sure there were many 'Flapper Girls' on the Vinatge Paris horizon, but the Paris Girl paper with the French Poodles and Ooh La La make this an interesting take on the theme.
Thanks for taking part and sharing with us at Craftymess.

Ooh, La,La, she does look like she's going places, doesn't she?! Gorgeous card and thanks for joining us at Sweet n' Sassy Stamps! Hugs
What a pretty card!
Such a wonderful card. I bet it was so much fun to make! The sassy image is colored beautifully and I love the bling! The bit of lace reminds me of a garter!!
Had to chuckle at the dancing space thought! Maybe that's why their hairstyles were so short!! Hee!Hee!
