The Four Scores

I named this group The Four Scores because that's about how long it took me to make this card, but it was fun bringing it all together! I paper pieced all of the jackets except for the guy in yellow. I colored his jacket with Copic markers by making the polkadots with the lighter yellow first and then coloring with the darker yellow around those. Their pants, shoes, ties, and shirts were colored with a combination of Stampin' Up watercolor crayons, reinkers, and markers. I attempted to give Ethel, the leader of the band, blue-gray hair with my Copic markers. I also put Crystal Lacquer on their shoes and the standup bass.  The name of the image is Old Characters Ethel and the Group (#562-10) by Rubbernecker.

This card is also for today's technique challenge on Splitcoaststampers to do colored embossing. You color the indented side of an embossing folder with a marker(s).  I colored my checkerboard embossing folder with a More Mustard marker for my checkerboard frame around the main image.

Meet Edna.  Edna is definitely NOT a morning person.  As a matter of fact, this image is called Edna's Mornings (SKU #562-06).  I immediately thought of a color scheme from the 1950s, so I chose to use turquoise for the sink in her bathroom.

Everything was colored with Copic markers.  I used a Marvy fine tip pen to add black polkadots to her bathrobe and her white socks.  Edna LOVES polkadots!  Isn't she cute?

And,  I love the corresponding sentiment, which reads "Here's hoping you don't look as bad as I feel!" (SKU #563-04), that I stamped on the inside of my card.

The flowers are from an MFT Die-namics die using Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo cardstock.  The designer paper is some Bo Bunny paper I've had for a while.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the Rubbernecker's Design Team blog hop, your chance to win a prize, and to order the new images!  I'll be using yet another darling image from this new release.
