It is a well suited sketch, Cathy and well adapted too. I chose to use my beauty as the vertical element and have the heart wrap around her.
She's a Graphic 45 stamp which I got to color with Tessaduck's Inktense pencils a few months ago. I had fun spending the afternoon in Brenda's studio. She also let me have a go with her Zig's as well. I decided today, I would fussy cut her from the heavy watercolor paper and go play in front of that fun dp. The heart shape is cut on one side and propped for dimension. I added a pretty gem hair ornament, embossed the love from Hero Arts, stapled the panel onto a glittered mat and it was all good.
Reminds me of our dear Anne Ryan's lovely Asian Beauties. Reminds me how I miss her. Hopefully she'll be back soon, sharing us with her art and blessing us with all her encouraging.

A WOW, Susan. Your elegant early 20th century lady is done so beautifully with coloring and jewels...reminds me of a "Downton Abbey" costume. Beautifully designed card.
