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?!
