BALLERINA IN SOCKS

This little lady visited my pencil this morning, and I thought she needed a little colour to bring her to life ...

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and white gel pen for the highlights.

All the edges have been lightly distressed to match the DP which is from Fabscraps (a South African company).

The embellishments are a strip of tulle gathered up into a semicircle, a paper rose and three stick on hearts. (The tulle is over 23 YEARS old and the rose at least 5 years old as I removed it from a farewell card I got when I left work in June 2007)

I arranged the elements according to today's sketch at The Outlawz :

  I have named this little cutie pie "Gwen" after my friend whose birthday it is today!

This image is not yet in the digistamps4Joy.co.za store, and will be included in an upcoming new release (check on Sunday ... who know - she could be there on Sunday!)

I would like to add the card to the following challenges too:
