In today's card, I think Ethel is looking really scary. She reminds me of my English teacher at Senior school. However, I must say that my teacher never turned up to class in her slippers!
I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Ethel & Friends Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured the image in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder.
I tied a bow using a length of each of Rose Petal and Sky Blue American Seam Binding. I spritzed it with water, scrunched it up a bit and then dried it with my heat gun. I added a Fashion Sense Sassy Posie (on show tomorrow), a blue button from my stash with some Baker's Twine from the Vintage Set tied through it and a couple of Fashion Sense Sassy Pins (also on show tomorrow).
I assembled the card as shown. The backing paper is both sides of some Creative Expressions Foundations Paper (on show tomorrow). I added some Pink Glass Glintz and also some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue.
Hope you like the card.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

I like the composition of the card Julia and of course I love Ethel - however I do think, as she looks so scary, the colours are too girly for her!!! LOL. She should have scary colours not pinks and blues. Love the embellishments on the card. I am loloking forward to the shows tomorrow and have already set the TV to record the shows.
