I suppose it is no surprise that I was quick to suggest Mad Men. I couldn't be more obsessed with that show and the characters in it. Roger Sterling & Joan Holloway are definitely my favorites, so I was thrilled to see that this lovely stamp had very *ahem* Joan-like qualities.
I really wanted to spend a lot more time designing a sort of Mad Men inspired SMASH* page {if you are not familiar with SMASH*ing I recommend checking out Kellie Winnell's blog and Krista's post here}.
Anyways, yesterday while coaching I got hit... and I mean HIT... square in the nose with a full-on forehand tennis ball. Needless to say, the rest of my day was spent icing my swollen nose and calming the pain with lots of ibuprofen. So I'll just have to post what I had up until that point.
And really, this illustration couldn't come at a better time! This Sunday is the season premier of Mad Men and I'm already planning a big night of it. If I would have known sooner, I may have just made some premier party invites with the image!
So, without further ado, here is the Mad Men digi from Saturated Canary with a few of my own embellishments {because we all know it's not Mad Men without a good martini!}
And here is the best part of the whole post! Krista was nice enough to allow me to open up a contest for you! This Mad Men inspired digi could be yours!
Here is what you'll need to do to enter:
1) Comment on this post sometime between now and Sunday
{I will close it after the 2-hour Mad Men premier @ 11pm EST}
2) You must be a follower
{either through Blogger or Facebook}
Good luck!
And thank you to Krista for this opportunity!

I luv this! I commented on Kristas FB page ~ I knew it was a 50-60s style stamp! I immideately saw it was a vintage houswife babe similar to Doris Day and those fab hollywood stars ~ I voted Dotty or Shirley as a name, but Blanche fits very good! And now I see where the inspiration came from ~ ofcourse, Mad Men, awesome show! Thanks for a chance to win this Ashley! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Krista's work, and you did her proud with your coloring of her new digi!
