I painted the image using DI reinkers but added some sparkly accent using a purple stardust gel pen. I then outlined Tilda with a W1 Copic to lift her off the page a bit. (I tried to do it with my Pumice Stone DI, but it went a bit pinky when I tried to blend it, so I coloured over the top with the Copic instead).
The layers are all stitched onto purple bazzil card, and I used a little zigzag on one side to create a bit more interest. This is something I've seen time and time again by the lovely Deanne, (here's my FAVOURITE card of hers which showcases the technique perfectly with the contrasting stitching).
This project is to support the Girlie challenge at Top Tip Tuesday which starts today.
