Miss Cornfields 2015 started out life as a Unity Stamp and she is dressed by Power Poppy digi stamp. No Copics were harmed during the colouring process because I didn't use any. Everything was done with Distress Inks.
The background is Wrinkle Free Distress with a lot of water dribbled on during the drying process. Miss Cornfields dress was printed onto a water colour paper, coloured with distress inks and an aqua brush - smack ink pad onto aluminium foil, squirt a tiny bit of water in one corner, this gives heaps of shades of the one colour. I used Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feather, Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles, Vintage photo and a hint of Spun Sugar.
After fussy cutting the skirt, I inked around the edges with more Vintage Photo distress ink. The head and shoulders were also fussy cut.
Background stamping was added. A sweet crafty friend carved lots of dots stamps for me - they are fabulous, the carving tool looks lethal - Rach wouldn't let me touch it LOL.
Some rustic turquoise jute and a brad were added. Thanks so much for looking.

Holy smokes! You outdid yourself on this one, from the coloring, the background and background details and the phenomenal job you did on that image! The shades and shading in her skirt are amazing! If I could color with distress inks like this, I would not even own copics! This is fabulous, Susie!
