Just the ticket

Jackie's last challenge on CBC was "Just the ticket" and a giveaway seems just the ticket too so I've combined them here! Itkupilli is offering free collage sheets and I chose the Take Two sheet to play with.

I resized the lady in hot pants so her arms had just the right span for a stamped ticket and then cut round her fingers so I could curl them over the top so it looks like she's really holding it up. She's printed with a laser printer in black and white and then tinted with Copics, her shoes are coated in Glossy Accents to give them shine and dimension.

I cut the card blank slightly short (so extending past it means it still fits the envelope) and tucked the two text pieces from the collage sheet under the top corner, inking and distressing for added interest.

Di's stitching idea on a recent project inspired the gold circle and I used real mother of pearl buttons, inspired by the digital ones on the collage sheet.
