Girlfriend Rocks!

Remember Mulan?





Mulan ROCKS as far as I am concerned.




I love when a character has CHARACTER, ya know?



It was the first theater movie I took my oldest to.



I wanted her to see a strong princess.


HOW CUTE IS GIRLFRIEND???



My sister bought her for me and sent it ASAP.



SISTER ROCKS TOO. ;)

Miyono (girlfriend) is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Copics.


I fussy cut the paper lanterns from the DP and stamped background elements with PAINT..yes, paint!


There are two peeled back strips that were cut with fringe scissors and knotted up to mimic the sketch.

I had to color the back of those strips with aqua mint to stick with the color scheme.


The card base is scored to mimic the lanterns.



Challenges that inspired this creation:





Stamping with Acrylic Paint



~I stamped Grunge Me with Anita's Dusty Green Acrylic Paint and even swiped some "extra" on the edges.  Originally the sentiment was stamped in paint (but it wasn't legible)...so I swiped paint over it and stamped with ink instead.
