Elegance meets wonder

Mr Mojo, where are you?

 Who knows where he has got to ... probably sunning himself somewhere exotic!

Thankfully, there are themes popping up everywhere for inspiration,

and with that in mind,

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers have a new theme 
"E is for Elegant"

I started by spritzing plain white card with water,

and then puffing some Ken Oliver Color Burst paints in

Orange and Alizarin Crimson

followed by more spritzing to run the colours a bit more.

 I then set it aside to dry for a while.

I stamped the elegant lady onto white card, adding colour to her skin and hair, 

and fussy cut her

.

I then sat and looked at her trying to decide whether to leave her black & white against the colourful background, or add colour.  I left her on my desk overnight and this morning decided to add variations of blue for contrast - I think she looks better with more colour!

I added touches of metallic blue gel pen to highlight her crown, necklace

and the criss-cross bits on her gown.

I stamped the lady directly onto the background before gluing the cut image on top.  

By doing this, the swirly vine isn't lost.
