I won "Little Frieda at the Seashore" recently at Simply Scrapping Crafts, so now I have another set in my arsenal! Here she is, worked into the sketch, using papers from My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Gertie collection:
I struggled with the elements that are flowers in the sketch - flowers didn't work, butterflies didn't work, didn't have the right color buttons, and then I remembered finding these old wooden stars last week when I was cleaning out a closet! They seem to fit with her little nautical outfit, and one of the paper panels even has a star-like motif. Did you know that distress inks will ink wood very nicely? Learn something new every day!
