I went with this picture for my inspiration. I liked the varied colors of the leaves, especially the deep purple and mahogany. I made a stencil out of the negative of a MB die to stencil some leaves in the bg. I added a few highlights with a white pen to the girl image. The words didn't fit anywhere horizontally so I decided to put them along the side..I think it looks ok. This is also for the Artistic Outpost Monthly Challenge. Thanks for looking!

Great card, Pol! As you often do, this card manages to look both modern and vintage at the same time. I think it's your clever use of vintage elements and very unusual color ways.
