Faces

Bonjour!  I present to you my "Jolie Femme" (Pretty Woman).  (I hope I translated that properly, since my French is very limited.  LOL!)  I've had my eye on Tim Holtz's phrenology stamp for quite some time.  However, I rarely ever buy stamps, because I don't use them much.  As a matter of fact, I recently gave away 3 sets of brand new stamps to a friend, since I had them stashed in a box for years.  However, I got some cash for Father's Day and decided to use it to purchase the set with this image in it.  I have no regrets!  There are so many possibilities for me to use it, so you'll probably be seeing it around.

Anyway, after stamping my image on white cardstock, I colored it with pastels, markers, and an ink pad.  Then, I highlighted the eyes and lips with Ranger's Glossy Accents and Stickles respectively.  I designed her hat with origami pieces I made, along with various K&Company die-cuts.  As a finishing touch, I used glue and ArtC heart glitter to design her earrings and necklace.  The tag background is an extra one I made a while back when working on one of my Tim Holtz inspired tags.  I attached the completed head to the background with adhesive pads.  To complete my tag, I added a TH pen nib and a small label with my own calligraphy.

Thank you for taking the time to write such thoughtful comments about my coffee tag two weeks ago.  I made sure to reciprocate the favor by leaving a comment on your tags or blog as well.  Au revoir!
