Card Lovers... Dutch

Here is my entry for Dutch Card Lovers, challenge #244:

This is their sketch:

Supplies & notes:

• This was one of those projects that came together in a miraculous instant: I had the new stamp from Hero Arts, already inked with MementoLuxe and fussy-cut, and I was like,  "I can use her as the vertical element for the Dutch challenge!" Boom. 
• I masked off four horizontal stripes and decided to use a Heidi Swapp stencil with Teresa Collins modeling paste over it. I guess I could have given the four horizontal elements more definition, but alas: it's art...
• Initially,  I used the following Distress Paints with sub-par results: Peeled Paint,  Antique Linen,  and Bundled Sage. So I said,  "Forget that," and got nasty with the following Distress Stains: Antique Pewter, Broken China,  Spiced Marmalade, and Peeled Paint.  Oh, then I sprayed it with Distress Spray Paint in Picket Fence. 
• I painted Kelly Jo (I named her after one of my besties, who she looks like) with the stains I had out. 
• The sentiment came up as I was texting the real Kelly Jo, who corrected me after I said I named the stamp simply "Kelly"... see what you get?
