Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #29

The Digi Doodle Shop's Best challenge this week was to create a card with a person on it.  I picked out this lovely vintage lady image.  Being from the south, I have a thing for the Southern Belle look.  The image is called "1800 Vintage Dress 6" and can be found at the Digi Doodle Shop Store.  I used Derwent Watercolour pencils and a little Distress ink to color the image.  Her dress has a little extra sparkle from some Stickles too.  I've used lots of Prima flowers including a piece of ribbon under the image, and I created a little pearl heart from some pearl trim.
Everybody has some kid of people stamp so ink 'em up and come join us for this weeks challenge!  You  just might win $10.00 worth of digi stamps from the store. :)

Supplies

Papers:  Recollections, Bazzill, DCWV Luxury Stack, Strathmore Bristol paper
Stamp:  Digi Doodle Shop's "1800 Vintage Dress 6"
Inks+:  Derwent Watercolour pencils, Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Diamond and Waterfall Stickles
Tools:  Nestabilities Labels Eight (S5-019), Martha Stewart fern punch
Miscellaneous:  Kaisercraft Pearls, Wright's pearl trim,  Prima mini roses, Prima Fancies, and Prima flower ribbon

Oh Tracy, this is so elegant. I clicked to get al larger view (I just love Stickles!!) and it is so gorgeous. I especially loved that little piece of black lace down towards the bottom. Great touch!
