What a lovely monochromatic blending for this weeks Color Challenge! Thanks Stef for these calming hues.
It's been a long time since I've brought out my collection of Asian women. Don't know why, as I really never tire of their beauty.
For my color palette, I used three pieces of Basic Grey's paper. I am mostly down to scraps now so I am not able to say which ones I used. Lotus was stamped directly to paper and embossed with a fine detail ep. This was also how I did the plaque with Beauty. It was so finely detailed it barely raised the surface. I used Verdigris on the German scrap with runs vertical and creates a wall of sorts. There are tiny beads in a mix of the colors as interest in her hair.
Thank you for your comments.

A beautiful card, Susan, and I can identify with your love of Basic Grey papers. I have some still in my stash that I will sure miss when it is gone. I loved their designs.

Beauty indeed! I love the beads in her hair. I know what you mean about some dsp - we need to savor, cherish and use each smallest piece. Lovely take on the challenge - so calm and peaceful!
