Inspired by Clare Lloyd - W2

I am on a roll... another tag! I have taken inspiration from Clare's project here but couldn't resist adding a face as per her second project for my entry in the Paper Artsy challenge.

I followed Clare's process using a stencil and stamping with paint (the branch from Eclectica ELB02) over-stamping with a background stamp in Archival. My circles were stamped in Archival on an offcut from last week's crafting (also from ELB02).
I stopped at the stitching.... I have enough trouble stitching straight, let alone in a curve! So I faked it with a pen.
As to my face, when I had finished "painting" her (I only used coloured pencils), I decided she should be under glass so I embossed the panel with clear powder. She looks from a different era don't you think? So old the glass would be cracked... which is what I did! Shame my EP was contaminated with white EP and other unidentified bits though!
 
I am also entering the WOW Embossing Powders (Glass) and Country View Craft (Painty pleasures) challenges.
 
Hope you'll forgive my colour scheme - what was I thinking?!

    I think your thinking was fantastic, love the colours you have used on the background as they work so well to enhance the BEAUTIFUL face you have drawn! Great idea to encase her and i like the contaminated EP, gives her an authentic aged look. Love your Tag very much :-) xxx

    Love her, C, and as for the stitching, yours is perfect still need to get it down so the stitches are even. Wonderful tag!

    This is fab! I love how you've added the embossing powder over the top of the image and then cracked it. I love the bright colours of the background too.
