DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: CHALLENGE #47 :: POLKA DOTS AND STRIPES

The challenge at Digistamps 4 Joy starting today is to add polka dots and stripes to your creation.

Here is my easel card for your inspiration:

The image I have used is one of my own drawings for Digistamps 4 Joy called "Pensive, which I coloured using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.

Here is a better look at the image:

As embellishments I used a spray of flowers, sewn on using invisible thread (the kind I use to bead the belly dance costumes I make), some satin ribbon, sewn on flower sequins and beads for a bit of bling, and I made two stickpins to add to the flower spray.  There is a little metal charm hanging from the ribbon.

 

The striped component is in the DP from Fabscraps, and the polka dots can be seen in the mini swiss dots embossing behind the image (on the orange mat).

I added the children's poem "Monday's Child" as the sentiment, and a large gem, a flower and a leaf are the 'stop' for the easel:
