Contains Rum by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I hope you're enjoying seeing all of the wonderful creations using the newly released "Vintage Vixens"!  I'm a big retro fan, so I love the 40's/50's images that are in this collection.  Today I'm using Contains Rum Set (Sku #4594):

 As soon as I saw the Vixens, I ran out and bought these papers especially for them, as they remind me of aprons & home baking!  When I added the blue outline around her, I intended to go back in and soften the halo a bit, but I like the sort of cartoon element it gave to the image so I left it as is.

Don't forget that our Vintage Vibe challenge is still happening here on the Ai blog, we would love to see your creations with a vintage feel to them - and there are always fabulous prizes to be won!

Copics used: Skin tones - E11, E00, E000

Greens - G46, G43, G40

Reds - R27, R24, R22, R20

Yellows - Y26, Y23

Grays - W1, W00
