Hello there stamping friends! Today I'm joining my fellow Joy Clair design team sisters in a fun presentation of a make-up set. You might say: I'm not a make-up kind of person (as I did) and wonder how in the world you could make this set work for YOU sooo...I'm here to share you how you can get a few chuckles and play along. Hope you enjoy!
Did you laugh? I hope so! This is a fun little quirky card that would be perfect to send to a friend feeling down or in need of a belly laugh. I took some liberties using the Flawless set, and you can too! In doing so, I completely got into the zone and didn't take process step photos like I usually do. I was so focused on trying to make this set work for me that I just completely went with the flow.
I learned in art class long ago that if you don't like an image, turn, twirl and twist the image until you see something you like. That's exactly what I did. The compact became some giant eyes, the blusher brush bristles became some freakin' thick lashes, the cross-hatched heart became a nose, the bottom of the lipstick case became a mouth-complete with a bumpy tongue!
I set off these images using the Wood Background that I embossed in white on a bright yellow base. Adding to the quirkified look, I punched a few holes, stapled the corners, added a few dotty strips for texture and mounted it wonky-style on some graph paper and a white card base. Totally FUN and unexpected!
And look at how awesome this tongue turned out!
Hope you enjoyed this quirky-fun card! Now back to the other designers who stuck to the script. LOL.
This is such a fun card Kerry!! I love the tropical feel of your card!
