This week at The Paper Players, it's time for Clean and Simple, and Laurie's challenge is Fashion Fun!
My stamp "collection" is primarily composed of flowers and outdoor images so I really thought I was in a pickle and might have to buy a new stamp (oh, darn!) but then I remembered my one stamp set that would work perfectly for this.
The Beautiful You has been around for a while but has great images and sentiments, and this chic lady with her hat and sheath look so classy. The stamped image stops at the end of her dress but I felt like this would leave her looking like she was floating in space. To remedy that, I used my Copic Multiliner pen and drew in legs to the bottom or the panel, then colored her up with Copic Markers.
To create my card a piece of white card stock was embossed with the polka dot embossing folder then trimmed down to accommodate the strip of black and white patterned paper, adhering both to the white card base. The sentiment was added by stamping at the top of the main panel and adding the small banner, then the entire thing was added to the base with foam tape. Super easy!

Oh my gosh, Stef! This image is absolutely perfect for this challenge! You have colored her to perfection! A perfect card!
Very classy fashion card!! I love that image!!
Gorgeous! Elegant and classy and perfect - like the lady in the stamp. Love the black and white theme with the pop of color, too! :)
Stef, your card is beautifully designed, and the lady looks so classy and beautiful with your coloring. I love that you created her legs! Great piece of art, Stef!
This is wonderful, Stef! You've colored this fashionista in such a great way, she really stands out! She reminds me of my MIL...she was known at her church as the "Hat Lady"...she never went to church without a hat! And she was quite the fashionista too!
I love this Stef - such an elegant and chic fashionista and the addition of the legs is just perfect - no-one would know if you hadn't pointed it out!
Stef, this is CAS perfection! I have this set and never used it. You have inspired me. I absolutely LOVE those big, embossed polka dots!!! Your colorful fashionista is so pretty and I love the black and white contrast with her dress. WOW! You rocked this challenge! Have a great week! XX
Stef, I am obsessed with the color of that dress! This image is one of my favorites and adding the legs was genius! Why didn't I think of that! Love the black patterned paper and the large dots. Fabulous card

Great card, gorgeous shading! I see I am not alone in the lacking of fashion stamps!
Love this, Stef! Your shading is gorgeous and I love those embossed polka dots in the background. Adding the legs is such a genius idea and totally makes sense. I never really thought about it until I read your post, either. Ha! Great idea!
