I kept her basic layout, but changed the stamps and colors and used a paper ribbon band.
The image was done with sort of a combo of embossing resist and batik. It was stamped onto to watercolor paper with white ink and clear embossed. Then I wet the entire piece and floated in various colors of Adirondack reinkers. I placed some blank newsprint paper on top and ironed. This dries the project and also removes the embossing powder. I wouldn't use a good iron for this and if you try it, don't move the paper while ironing as the ep will transfer to other areas.
The left two corners were punched on the burgundy c/s then run thru the crimper as were the horizontal band pieces. A torn piece of the watercolor paper is the top layer of the band, The buckle is a die cut. TFL

This reminds me of batiking and I love the look.
