Awesome Girl!


The image for the Crafter's Café Challenge #188 reminded me of my granddaughter, Brooke, who has her black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but is still a girly-girl. It is called Karate Girl and can be obtained at Polkadoodles.
I colored the image with Copic alcohol markers to resemble Brooke. The theme includes using "Lots of Bling" so I added the glitter paper for headband and colored the pearls for her hair. I also used Wink of Stella (clear) on her hair and on the shoes in the background but it does not photograph well.

The image was fussy cut then adhered to black cardstock and outline cut. The image was adhered to the card using foam tape. The layers are a white cardstock base, then a layer of black cardstock, then the patterned paper. The lacy frame was die cut. The sentiment was die cut three times from different cardstock and adhered in layers. The inside was decorated with a strip of the glitter paper to coordinate with the headband.
