I had so much fun making this card ! Each mummy is the exact same image but I flipped some of them and adjusted the size to get the row of beauties participating in the contest. It's amazing what can be done with digital images. :-D Of course, I'm going to use this as a Halloween card.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image (freebie from Scrapper's Delights for their FB Progressive Challenge) and the background. The sentiment was printed at the same time I printed the image. I added the ribbon (which is actually deep, apricot gold, not orange! It matches the sand color in the image) before I matted it with black CS. That entire piece is adhered with Pop Dots.
I added the polka dot bow (also not orange!) and slipped a piece of torn cheesecloth behind the upper corner, then added the three embellie dots to the top corner. Those are teeny pom poms so they give the card some great texture, as well as visual interest.
