Moxie Fab's "Taintor-tude"



I'm sure you've seen them on cards, coasters, purses, you name it, those 50's chicks with attitude by Anne Taintor. You know, the ones that make you laugh out LOUD when you pick them up and read them? Well Cath at Moxie Fab World is as big a fan as I am and issued a challenge to come up with a card that mimics Anne's style. WooHoo! The hunt for the right image proved daunting, but I had copied a pic that my dear friend DeeDee had used quite awhile ago (I searched your blog though, DeeDee, but couldn't find the card to give credit) and although it's in black and white, the look (and attitude) was there. She's holding a ticket, but I'd come up with a sassy sentiment so I search my mags to find credit card logos small enough to use on my project. I used a craft knife so she could actually hold them in her fingers and for an additional pop of color added some red to the roses with my Copics. Finally, to add my signature style, out came the adhesive pearls and rhinestones. Now tell me, who do you think she's talking to? You... or her man? ;-D
