I am drawn to vintage looking images of cute housewives. So, when I saw this stamp set called Domestic Goddess from There She Goes Clear Stamps I just HAD to get my hands on it.
Years ago I did a just for fun photoshoot with some quirky photos and I wore this red polka dotted dress. I really need to buy one similar to it, as I didn't own the one in the photo. So, in honor of that dress I made this one red with white polka dots, here's one of the photos from that day with me "vacuuming some rocks." Told ya it was quirky ;) *LOL*

There are some pretty funny sentiments that came with this set, and I decided to use the one that says "Please leave a message after the tone. Beeeep...." Little miss smarty pants there thinks she's being real funny, maybe it's a bill collector, or a nagging relative. *LOL*
Here's my card recipe:
Yellow card base in standard 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 A2 size
Dashes and dots drawn with a blue Stampin' Up marker
Blue cardstock 3 and 3/4 by 5
Vanilla colored layer is 3 and 1/2 by 4 and 3/4, I embossed it with the Cuttlebug folder called Seeing Spots
A scalloped oval cut with Nestabilities using some paper from the Cricut Celebrations stack - it's got small circles on it.
Oval shape cut out of white cardstock with stamped image on it. I had to cut out the area around her hair before cutting with the oval Nestability. Then I just popped that part of her through the top of the die so that it wouldn't cut.
The image and sentiment are 2 separate stamps from the Domestic Goddess set. I colored her with some Copics for her hair and skin, and some Stampin' Up markers for everything else. One thing I really love about the Stampin' Up markers is that on of the sides has a super fine tip you can use for writing or getting into tiny little spaces. The Copics are great for blending and making things more realistic. I am a total beginner to coloring techniques, so I love being able to use both kinds of markers together to get a nice look.
Thanks for checking out my fun card today!
