SKIN=ivory,blush,dusky pink, soft peach.
HAIR=cinnamon,cocoa,walnut.
JEANS=pastel blue,cornflower,china blue,midnight blue.

card no2.i stamped with a hero arts checked stamp with tumbled glass and broken china distress inks.i then randomly drew some line with my promarker fine liner and why the inks were still wet, i dragged a sponge across to make it blurred.personal impressions sentiment and bus image.same inks used over the bus.matted onto white and navy card and a bit of faux stitching and a couple of buttons.simples again.lol.xx
