Betty Boop!

We visited Universal on our vacation and I loved the section of the park that had old comic strip characters.  They even had Betty Boop!  I was inspired to make a birthday card for my husband's cousin.  I used a Spellbinder's die for the face- the name of it escapes me.  Her eyes are from the SU Owl punch.  I enlarged the above photo to make a template for her hair.  That was really the toughest part!  Her chest is from Valita's post at Valentine's.  You can check out  her blog to get directions here-
It was fun trying to come up with the right punches to make Betty come to life!  I will probably make more cards from things I saw at Disney.  What an place to find inspiration- it was around every corner.  I took alot of pictures of the sights but I took just as many pictures of things that I thought, " wouldn't that make a great card", or things with color combinations that I would never think of!  You just never know where inspiration can be found.  Hope you like my Betty Boop!
