RRD - Grand Opening Blog Hop

It is Red Rubber Designs Grand Opening and to celebrate we are having a blog hop!  The Design Team is featuring the stamp set "Life of the Party".  I can't wait to see what everyone did with this set.

I used RRD's Patterned Cardstock "Catelynne" for this card.  All three patterned papers are from Catelynne.  I pulled all the colors from this paper line. 
There are several layers to this image.  I stamped the image 4 times.   Once on the green patterned paper, 3 times on white cardstock - the base image, the colored image of the woman, and 'life of the party'.

The image of the woman was colored with Copic Markers {E00, E11, E13, E21, R11, R20, R32, 0}.  I cut her out.  For the base image, I colored the woman with the darkest skin tone E13 and color of the dress R32.  Then I used chalk to create the blue background.  I added the green strip of stamped patterned cardstock to the base image.  Then aged the image by sponging the edges with Cognac and Burnt Umber Palette ink.

The Life of the Party sentiment was cut to size, blue chalk was added, then  matted and adhered to the base image.  The woman was then added with pop dots to make her come to life.

A champagne colored bow {Juliette} was added to the corner and the completed image was added to the base card.
