It's really hard to talk about this card without giving the challenge details away. I can tell you though that all the white areas are gesso and when the gesso dried, I scrubbed pre-inked sponge daubers on some of the circles.
The girl is a stencil from Crafters Workshop. It comes as a positive and negative stencil. I traced around the positive one onto a book page, then fussy cut it before colouring with pencils.
Thank you for looking and I hope you can join in the Fan Club fun this week.

LOL at pre-inked sponge daubers, is that like my basket full of pieces of cut 'n' dry foam that I never know exactly what colour I've used when I just pull one out. Ilove the warm vintage colours and your bookish girl.
