HiThis weeks Lots to do challenge is to use apiece of stamping. So I chose the beautiful Maribel image by Stempelglede.
After several attempts at colouring her on glossy card I am rather pleased with the result! I used pigment inks - versacolor and distress to colour her and used distress inks for the background. The flowers were stamped ( Stempeglede grunge) with distress inks on grunge paper and punched out with retro flower punches. the swirly thingy was cut on my Cricut using Accent Essentails, which I don't use enough! I had a hard time photographing her and this is the closest to how she looks in real life. thanks for looking xx
