What a fun challenge! Phyllis Harris' images are so uplifting. I colored with copics and enhanced with pencils. Her dress got a bit messy, so I paper pieced it and shaded the dp with pencil. Sponged the sky in a dark blue but the image colors looked too cool. Sponged again in brown and got mud. Since I had no paper to match I swiped the same ink pads on the craft mat, spritzed with water and dragged glossy through it giving me a marbled matching color. Stencils were used to add the chevrons and dots to the background. Thanks for looking.

Ah, Nancy, this is is amazing! I love the colors, I love the image, I love the patterned papers you created, and the stitched star is the perfect added detail!
