The Stamp Man challenge - travel

Wow its been a mad and crazy day today - we had a busy stamping club session with a stampin up party too - Wow its been busy :0) Over at The Stamp Man challenge the theme is travel - I have lots of French type stamps - goodness knows why as I am not a traveller at all - have never seen the Eiffel tower or indeed the Mona Lisa still who needs to see when Mr Holtz brings them all to our doorstep anyway!
Here I used adirondack lettuce and butterscotch inks to make the background - lots of layered stamping in there all from the same Mini classics TH stamp set. I used water to bleach out her face and then a frame made using nesties which I have painted with crackle paint. A little fringing and the addition of a very old passport stamp to the bottom and some fibres to hang it its done. My she is such a happy soul LOL
Do stop by and see my team mates gorgeous creations they are sure to inspire you to play along.
