Many years ago I started drawing stick figures mainly because I couldn't draw actual people. I actually got the inspiration for these figures from one of my favourite soul bands "Soul to Soul", I loved their bright outfits and their platted hair.I remember making a picture for my best friend that had all these colourful figures on an orange background, I have to admit it came out really well and she absolutely loved it and always put it up in her lounge room whenever she moved, she was a bit of a nomad back in the day. She cherished this little gift for many years but in the end it was stolen by a malicious flatmate and she was devastated, maybe now I can make her a replacement picture.
For this card I drew the figures and made it into what maybe called a digital stamp. I can now use this image over and over again, something I couldn't do when I first started drawing these figures. Making this card has made me realize how much I depend on my computer to create, I don't know if this is a good thing but I have to admit I appreciate the convenience of designing this way.
The blue dresses have been attached to the card stock with self adhesive dimensional foam and I added diamantes to the figures hair. This was a very simple card to make and it took me back years when I just had fun and enjoyed life, have to admit I am pretty much doing the same thing now.

You're gonna think I'm stalking you or something! Love love this card. I too started out making stick figures, before I discovered stamps and die cuts. I was actually sorta known for them for awhile...this inspires me to break them out again. Stay tuned!
Seriously, incredible card.
