Sassy Lady Luck

I wanted to change Lady Luck's outfit, so I started by embossing and coloring her with markers, and added some Crystal Stickles to her hair. Then I colored her top and pareo with glue, and poured on the Art Institute glitter in Fleur de Lis. I added a line of Black Diamond Stickles at the top and bottom of her skirt for a little extra dazzle and coverage. When I cut her out, I just cut off the shamrock and the wrench, so now she's just a plain ol' pin-up! I CBed the mulberry paper with the Textile folder and then distressed it with Black Soot. I love the look I get when I spray this ink with a fine mist of water.

The main image is by Bombshell Stamps, and the word is by Making Memories. The paper is Basic Black, Almost Amethyst, Gable Green, watercolor and Soft Subtles Mulberry paper by SU! The pattered paper is My Mind's Eye. I used VersaMark and Tim Holtz Black Soot inks. I added a little Stardust pen to the punched layers of the sentiment. I don't know who makes the chipboard. I got it in a monthly kit from Scrapologie.
