They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More

This stamp of Carmen Miranda by Carmen's Veranda has always been a favorite of mine.  I love the song by Jimmy Buffett about Carmen.  I was reading a bit about her online and discovered she died at the age of 46.  She was such a vibrant personality; she packed a lot of work into her short life!  So here is my tribute to Carmen!

I colored her with Prisma colored pencils and fussy cut...making sure to not lob off one of her fingers!  I used an embossing folder on a piece of canvas paper that I had painted blue and sprayed with some shimmer sprays.  I used some white embossing powder to bring out the details of the embossing folder.  I glued Carmen down and added some little yellow gems to the corner.  I used some stickles to highlight her jewelry and costume.  I stamped the sentiment and embossed with black on a piece of my painted canvas paper.  I glued the layer to the same green paper and left everything with distressed edges.
