She's a Mod, she's a Mod, she's a Mod... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

OK, now those of you who were around for the music of the 60s will now be cursing me for the song worm after reading that title!  

She's a Mod, Originally recorded by the Senators in the UK but was never a hit for them.  It was re recorded by Ray Columbus and the Invaders in New Zealand and reached number 1 on the charts in Australia and New Zealand and made the top 100 in America!  YouTube clip.  it goes for a whole 2 mins 10 seconds!

Anyway now I've set the scene for the swinging 60s... On to my card.

 How amazingly cute is this little Mod Marci?  Sammi has her available at the Mad for Markers store.  I had such a fabulous time colouring her and then, because I was listening to 60s music, I decided she needed a psychedelic background.  


As the challenge this month at Mad for Markers is to use your Copic Markers from the Bs, BGs and BVs I used colours from those families and just flicked them out from the centre of the card, the slight curve just happened with the natural flicking motion.  Isn't it Awesome? I love how this turned out.

I am hoping that this post through the miracle of modern technology has appeared on my blog, I'm out celebrating my birthday with friends and trying to keep warm in Canberra!  (I think I've acclimatised to Nth Queensland again!) ---- It's not that cold after all!

Just adding an update here, working from my new netbook, I'm updating this post to add her to Make It Monday - Anything Goes

Cheers,
