Moxie Fab is hosting a terrifically fun challenge: Taintor-Tude! The challenge is to make a card inspired by Anne Taintor's tongue-in-cheek creations. These cards and gift items have always made me laugh and I thought I'd give it a whirl. It was a blast, and I can see these types of cards becoming very addictive!
Anne Taintor cards seem to mostly feature the inner-most thoughts and desires of women, but I've noticed that my husband appreciates the humor and wickedness of her designs as much as I do. So, I thought I'd create a card meant for a man, which turned out to be just as fun. The image I chose was from an ad for Seventeen Cosmetics from the year 1947 with the slogan, "For that natural look men look for." I thought it would be perfect for my Taintor-inspired card.
Since this was supposed to be intended for a man, I kept things simple and tried only to pick up a few of the wonderful colors in the image. I actually know the perfect guy to give this to...his girlfriend is a whip-smart attorney and I'm sure she'd appreciate the irony!
