Wallflowers are beautiful too.

The new challenge over at 

Crafting When We Can

is 

"One for the Girls"

Sponsored by Doodle Digistamps

I was given the image 

"Evath"

and I didn't want to overpower her simple beauty

 so I selected  soft muted pinks and browns for her,

 including washy tapes to make subtle borders.

 Just for a change I cut an aperture into the base paper,

inked edges with TH Distress ink Victorian Velvet

and set the image behind it.

 I roughly coloured the base image with my promarkers

 as I was going to decoupage another layer

 *why waste ink*

I made a raised border/ribbon strip using

washy tape over a strip of paper,

and added strips of ribbon leaves and lace.

 I then made her a layered flower for her hair

from plain white paper flowers, coloured with 

inks and promarkers.

Finally some teeny tiny pearl drops for added 

texture, and the"I am Proud of you"

 sentiment from my Anna Griffin stash
