I Am Woman

This month on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity, there are two challenges.  The first half of the month the challenge is "Doodling", and the second half of the month, the challenge is "I Am Woman".

For this post, I have chosen the second challenge as LCD has so many great stamps featuring women and I love so many of them.

For this card I made, I created a background using my Gelli plate, red and purple acrylic paints, and a flourish stencil.  I then edged it with red ink and stamped stars and a smaller flourish randomly with red and purple inks.  I stamped Birthday Mona onto white card stock with black ink.  I colored her with Copic Sketch markers as shown.  For the cake, I added some Glossy Accents to the candle flames and the white icing on the cake to make them have a little shine.  I attached Mona to the center of my card, then stamped my sentiment Do I Smell Cake? with black ink onto a white square.  I also edged that with red ink and positioned it directly below Mona.  To complete the card I gave the top of her party hat a red flower and attached my card from to a white card base.

A fun birthday card and a new interpretation of the Mona Lisa!  Be sure to go to the Portal and check out the monthly challenges!
