I met a lovely young lady during my hols who inspired this card...she had bright purple hair...and was getting odd looks from everyone in the cafe including my guests...it was packed and nobody would offer the poor girl a seat.... it really annoys me so much when people are so judgemental... so as we had a spare seat at our table I invited her to join us...it turned out that she studies History at the same University as my daughter Chloe so we had lots to chat about...and she gave us a list of places to visit locally...she also gave me a great shopping tip.... I was admiring some chain she had attached to her clothing and she told me of a local shop that sold it by the metre in lots of fab colours...so after lunch I popped an got a few lengths...so a big thank you to Hanna for giving me a much needed boost of inspiration :)
I have used on of the gorgeous digi images 'Da Bomb' from Kenny K Downloads. I have coloured the image with Copic markers and sponged the background with 'Dusty Concord' & 'Black Soot' Distress Inks. The paper is from the Prima 'Pulse' collection...I have distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz 'Paper Distresser' Tool. I stamped some paint splodges around the image with a stamp from 'Urban' stamp set by Bo Bunny. I attached the chain to the card using some silver star brads from my stash. I thought a pretty flower would look out of place on this card so I used a Pink Paislee 'Doodle Flower' stamp on plain cardstock and coloured it with a Copic to match the image.
Here are the Copic Colours:
Skin: E000, E00, R00, R01.
Eyes: B000, B02 /C0.
Hair: RV00, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09.
Vest: G0000, G000, G00.
Jeans: BV000, BV00, BV01, BV11.
Boots: C4, C5, C7, C9/RV00, RV02, RV06.
Can: C4, C7/YG00, FYG2.
Thanks for visiting have a lovely day!

Hi debbie,
Fabulous card. Love the colours and the chain sits well on it. You are right about people being so judgemental - what is it they say about not judging a book by the cover.
Hugs,

Fantastic card and colouration Debbie, love the paper and chain detail. Such a pity peeps are so judgemental - their loss and Hanna was your gain.

Good on you Debbie! I have a son who always looks as though he should be selling Big Issue on street corners (he actually worked with those kids until recently) and have first hand experience of peoples incorrect assumptions. Little do they realise how much effort it takes to customise your clothes, hair, etc., to achieve that grungy look, Lol!
Love your card. She looks like the singer Pink!

What a fab card!
I spent many of my younger years with weird & wacky hair - mainly due to being a hairdresser in the 80's - it would be quicker to tell you the colours I've not been!
I love the paint splash stamp and the paper - will have to go and 'find' these I think!
