Using my old rubber stamps

I had on my to do list to make a sassy birthday card using rubber stamps. I had only one image I felt suited the theme, so  I blew the dust off my showgirl from Whimsy Stamps. I wanted to use this stamp in a new way, so I stamped a cocktail glass from Magnolia, masked it and then I placed the showgirl like she's sitting inside the glass. The image is colored with Promarkers and the glass has loads of glossy accent on it.

I had planned to use a sketch as inspiration for my card, but I had to change plans along the way as I wasn't happy with how I'd colored the white space around the image, which forced me to fussy cut it. I used my embossing folder with falling snow, then I added gold, silver and frantage to the spots and background, I think it gave her a background with lots of party feel to it. The birthday sentiment is in Norwegian and was is embossed with silver EP.

This card is for these challenges:
Twofers - #4 Sassy
Mervi's Candy and Challenge - Birthday
Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes with Twist of Black
Crafty Cardmakers - Make It Sparkle
Incy Wincy Designs - Pin Up Girls
