The Stamp Man 3rd Year Annual awards

 The Stamp Man are holding their 3rd Annual Awards ... all you have to do is proudly show your favourite project of 2011 ... click on the pic for more details ...
 Oh to just pick 1 project from the year that is either my best or favourite!!!  That is a hard task ...
After lots of browsing and contemplating I went for this card. I coloured her in using my promarkers, once in warm greys and the other in reds and blues.  I cut sections of the coloured image out using my nesties and covered chippie squares.  All the dp (Prima) and images have been distressed with my TH tool and ink.  I added strips of TH tissue tape that I distressed with ink, and a layered flower.  Finally a pearl pin with some cogs threaded onto it and some flat backed pearls.

 Challenge:
Make it Monday
