...yellow polka-dot bikni!
My mom is bravely jumping back onto the weight-watchers bandwagon, and while (right now) I'm lacking the motivation I need to join her, I wanted to encourage her with a fun card. Isn't so hard to START the process of eating better and exercising when you haven't been doing it for a long time? sigh.
And can we talk about the staging of this card for a second? I was cracking myself up, with the blue martini glass, and the jar full of sea-shells... oh, the things I have lying around my house :)
I hope she'll get a kick out of the little yellow-polka-dotted Denami bikini - it was just the right size for this card.
I added my favorite accent of the moment, the Wplus9 sunburst, in back of the bikini (with some masking, of course, to avoid the bikini itself), and the sentiment was computer generated before I stamped the frame around it.
The card base was stamped with the "classified" section of the PTI newsprint background, and the tiny stars are leftovers from the star border die (mft.)
For a last, fun touch, I glazed the bikini with a layer of glossy accents.
Have a great day, all!
That is one of my favorites by far. So cute, and I'm a fan of the yellow polka dot bikini.

Adorable, super sweet card! I think my itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini days are gone forever...maybe a one piece with a big ole girdle in it, oh and a skirt!
