usually i like to colour the girls in, in all sorts of exotic colours...but this time i was feeling a bit sad and wistful...so i kept the whole colour~scheme in shades of brown to match my mood!
if you blend your distress inks all around the face you can create a fun vingnette effect...which really draws your eye into the face and the feeling...and i can't resist giving her glass eyes...this time with sepia accents!
the rest of the card is simply finished off with one of Sir Tim's tattered floral flowers, with a suede flower and an orange gem brad to hold it into place and highlighted with a lovely scrap of lace and a couple of buttons.
its not rocket science, i haven't reinvented the wheel...but i kinda like it :0)
Wow, I love how you did the distressing around her face, it looks so beautifully blended and the rhinestones are perfect. Thanks for joining us at SDC!
ReplyDeleteNever any need to re-invent when you're adding your unique touch. Love that wistful bluesy look - her eyes are perfectly sad in that sepia tone!
ReplyDeleteI have already admired this yummy card, and I'm still struck by the wistful look on your girlie's face. Not keen on the bug eyes though ...!!
