Gorjuss the Bookworm

I treated myself to this lovely stamp from Howden's, my local craft shop the other day, I just couldn't resist her as I'm an avid reader as well as a crafter.
I've coloured her with Promarkers and paper pieced her dress, adding Sakura metallic pen to the spots.
The papers are all magazine freebies, a lovely stack with a vintage feel in vibrant colours as well as pastel shades and I've added some Kraft card too.  All the edges were distressed with my Tim Holtz tool
The flowers were made with Nellie Snellen  and Woodware punches from Stampin' Up book print paper with coloured pearls for centres.
I've finished off with some pink lace and an organza bow.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Through the Craftroom Door - #24 - favourite technique - mine is colouring with Promarkers
A Gem of a Challenge - #44 - sketch
Little Darlings - #21 - pastels
Craftroom Challenge - ink it
Totally Stampalicious - paper piecing

    How gorgeous (no pun intended!)! I love these stamps and have some of the older images. The dps and colours you've used are beautiful, and give it a lovely vintage feel. Thanks for joining in with our Ink It Up challenge over at the Craft-Room, and good luck.
