Cardvaark "Paint" Challenge


For some reason the word "paint" triggered a tune in my head "Lipstick, powder and paint" ; so that's why I went for this lay-out.

I had a couple of tester pots of Dulux in the cupboard, so used the Sugared Lilac to paint the background and Roasted Red to daub on some scrap before cutting out a couple of freehand drawn lip shapes. The lipstick and powder picture was downloaded from ClipArt in Word and the nail 'paint' picture from Google. Quote and word tags from Word

Then, when I thought about all that make-up, Dolly Parton came to mind and her little quote "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap" (I do like DP's thinking !!). So that's why a photo of her and that quote are on the card too.

Inside I'm debating whether to go for "From one natural beauty to another" or "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to me you are beautiful - with or without the slap !"

I really did have some fun with the thought process for this one, thanks Cardvaark.
