VSN Challenge #5

Wow... I actually had a few spare minutes after the last challenge to take a potty break (both me and Gizmo had to go)...

I definitely feel more inspired and motivated towards papercrafting now... I'm planning on making my Christmas cards this year and I am so geared up now! On to the next challenge...

direct quote from SCS

"Come on babe Why don't we paint the town? And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees And roll my stockings down And all that jazz

Start the car I know a whoopee spot Where the gin is cold But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall Where there's a nightly brawl And all That Jazz

When you hear this song, does it make you think of the opening scene in the movie Chicago? It does, for me. One of my favorite movies is Chicago. For those of you who might not be aware, Chicago takes place in the 1920's. I loved the costumes that they wore in the movie. (My girls have each dressed up as flappers for various halloweens too.) My challenge to you is to dress up your card using items reminiscent of this time period. Think feathers, boas, fringe, etc."

Ok... snag major... I don't have any fringe or feathers or boas... what to do??? I took a few minutes to think about the movie Chicago... there is a scene where the ladies were using chairs and I thought of a classic burlesque image of a dancer with one foot on a chair... unfortunately I don't have a stamp image like that... Ever resourceful I decided to draw one myself... I covered the lady in sparkly fabric (leftover from a halloween costume) and added some fancy fibers to imitate fringe...

I really liked the way it turned out - and its one of my hubby's favorites out of all of the cards I've made so far!!
