Great Gatsby Guy and Girl.

Hi all! Sorry, I've been quiet in blogland for a bit, but I am doing quite well relaxing on my staycation that I've forgotten my usual to-do lists.... ooops!

But it's Saturday, and I do have a card featuring another June release from Time for Tea Designs. Y'all know my love for Great Gatsby, so it was only natural that I felt excited when I saw this pair from Jo's stamps!

I decided to leave Great Gatsby Guy in an all white tuxedo number because only Gatsby can pull that off. I colored Great Gatsby Girl up in this rich blue. It almost looks velvet, doesn't it?

Jo has got a great deal going on - buy any stamp from etsy store and you get her "Anyone for Tennis" new release -- she is so cute!! You only have till the weekend to get her though. So act quickly!

I looked for some bling and vintage items to finish this card off. And voila!



Have a wonderful weekend!

The Great Gatsby!

What up, blogland?!

It's the first of the month, and it's time for another Some Odd Girl Sketch Challenge.



I used Flapper Kaylee and 1920s Kody. Added some sparkly sequins for flair and that fancy leaf that kind of looks like a feather. My favorite embellishment is that beautiful button with small beads and sequins. The purple button is lovely too, and all three embellies on the bottom were from an art kit that I bought from Traci Bautista of TreiC Designs. I think these items were vintage finds.



Now if you follow me on Instagram, you're probably aware of how obsessed I've become of The Great Gatsby after I saw the movie.

I loved the story line, the actors, the music, the fashion (to die for!). It was very beautiful and captivating! I am now more intrigued of that era, and am truly considering having a 1920s-themed party!

Anyway, back to the card. I am really loving emerald green right now (Pantone's color of the year) so I colored her dress with it. I researched the make-up back then and came up with "dark lipstick and eyes lined with kohl." If you can't tell by now, I truly love adding make-up to SOG images :).



I don't have a lot of art-deco inspired patterned paper, but the black and white one was close enough, I thought. I also changed up Kaylee's shoes to have that T-strap sandal style that was known back then with my Copic multi-liner.

I hope you get to join in on this fun challenge! Visit the SOG blog for more details and inspiration!
