IC306 - Faded Rose

Photo Details

Poster: BobbiesGirl

This is my card for IC306. I have always admired any artist who can draw faces with expression, so I was very inspired by this Summer Sketch on the Handscapes Gallery site

http://www.handscapesgallery.com/Sally_Anger.html

I started with Kraft, put on a distressed layer stamped with Victorine Originals and the face is Stampland. I colored the lips and added the flower for no good reason. I like it.

Your card tells such a story, Carol! I love your creative design. Her face is beautiful, the red flower made me think of her passion. The map ... her passion for traveling, or her passion makes her travel the world, in search of something ... someone. See what I mean??? Wonder if you had any of those thoughts when you created it?!? (You can tell I'm a writer, huh?)

Carol, this is unbelievably beautiful! Wow! I am sooooo impressed with this card. The face is awesome, the map is pure genious, and the flower is the perfect extra touch. Thought-provoking card too. Hugz - I miss you and I hope things are less hectic!!!!
