Did you ever have one of THOSE days at the hairdresser?
Welcome back to my blog!
It's my turn today over on the Rabbit Hole blog and I have
another fun card from the recent September release!
Well, for me, I grew up with 2 parents that were hairdressers so although
I never had a bad experience at the salon, I did have one hairstyle
that left me looking like our poor pumpkin friend.
It was a perm gone bad, ya know 80's hair that was out of control!
Just picture Little Orphan Annie times 10!!
Luckily having 2 parents that were hairdressers they were able to reverse
that perm quickly so there was no permanent damage to my fragile
teenage ego. 😂😂😂
Our pumpkin friend is not so lucky so she is rocking the pumpkin
hair that looks like an accident, or at least that's what she's telling her friends!
I recently broke out my Ranger Alcohol Pearl Inks and
started playing around with them and
I wound up with a few backgrounds that I actually liked!
I decided to turn one of them into a card for today's post.
Card Recipe
-I started with some Ranger Yupo paper and some Ranger alcohol blending solution.
I used some blue and orange alcohol ink and mixed them around until I liked
how it all looked together.
-Once it was dry I swiped some Kuretake Starry Colors gold paint randomly
across the panel to give it some extra shine.
-I cut a panel of it out with a Kat Scrappiness zig zag rectangle die and WALLA
instant background! I adhered it with Nuvo adhesive to a white A2 card base.
-My pumpkin friend from Pumpkin Hair Don't Care was stamped
with Copic friendly Gina K amalgam ink and then colored with similar Copic marker
colors from the background of the card. Here are the colors I used:
YR02, YR18, R46, Y06, BG13, and G00
I then cut Ms. Pumpkin out with a Kat Scrappiness zig zag circle die
to match the background panel edge.
-For the sentiment I used a fitting sentiment from Sassy Sentiments
and stamped it out in black ink and cut it from a smaller
Kat Scrappiness zig zag rectangle die to keep the same theme on the edge.
-I popped the image and sentiment up on some 3M foam tape and
all was good in pumpkin hair land!
Here are the 2 sets I used on today's card:

This is great!!! Your story is hilarious and hits home. Why is it always perms??? Mine wasn't so fixable. I had treated my hair with Sun-In for years...my hairdresser knew this but forgot??? Anyway, the two don't mix and my hair was breaking off in mass proportions as she was taking the curlers out. I was a teen...it was horrible! Ego decimated.
ReplyDeleteI had thick, thick hair to my waist in high school. My Mom decided to give me a perm (no idea why). It came out looking like Cousin It. The worst part was the softball team was filmed for future classes. I was the pitcher so that hairdo lived in infamy for years. LOVE your background for Pumpkin Hair!
