Windswept

Thursday's offering is the  culmination of Wednesday's efforts ...

I haven't paper pieced in ages bit the facebook Sugar Nellie challenge calls for it, so I dug out some paper scraps for this card.  i love Windswept, and she paper peices well, although I think I would layer the skirt in future a bit more.  I coloured the rest of the iamge using my promarkers and did the faux stitching with my black promarker.  I added someorganza ribbon, flowers, flat baked pearls and gems.

It fits these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Coffee and Cream
I love Promarkers - stitching
Papertake Weekly Challenge - sketch
A Spoonfull of Sugar - birthday wishes (its for my Gran who is 95 in 2 and a 1/2 weeks!!!)
Stamp with fun - recipe
Pollycraft challenge - pearls nad diamonds
Recipe:
