A feminine form...

 The color of purple and a little distressing add a vintage look to this "feminine form" from Impresssion Obsession. A little bit of watercoloring and then some highlighting with Copic Markers (Lilac V04, Powder Blue B41) give distinction and depth to this form. Distressed paper, a little sanding and the addition of flower embellishments finish the scene.

Challenges:
Do You Stack Up (distressed look)
Impression Obsession (color of purple)




Where did my creative adventure take me today? Maybe to a dressmakers shop on a side street in Paris in the early 1940s...

Stay warm harted,
Elizabeth

  8. How can I not love this, as my favorite color is purple. Love the vintage look to this card, as if you opened an old box in an attic to find a collection of greeting cards that your Great Aunt saved. Brilliant job!
