I colored Audrey's skin and her lips, used a script and a circle stencil and sponged with brown and blue DIs.
I've restricted myself to only use scraps for a while, so I made a frame for the image using two leftovers. I attached twine around the panel and added it to a houndstooth embossed paper.
I was realizing I had started to use the colors of the photo over at Creative with stamps, but I struggled a bit to find a way to add some purple and grey. I found some scrap pieces in those colors and decided to decorate with die cut feathers. The button is a brad I found in my stash.

So elegant and sophisticated, the feathers and brad are the perfect embellishments, I can't believe you had the right colors in your scraps for this, how perfect! Way to go using up your scraps!
Beautiful card! I've just come to realize that I don't have any stamps that would be images of a woman (well, I have one!) and when you think about it, isn't an image like this perfect for girlfriends? I seriously need more images like this. I love the elegant look of this card, great colours too!
Wow Pia, you've used this image beautifully on your design! Love the colors and the mix of stencils and stamps in your background with it! You've done a great job on your accents! :) HUGS

Isn't that a classic Audrey pose? I love the way you have used it with tha pretty background elements. I also admire your restraint to use up pieces! Great idea! I've been doing that, too, but not restricting exclusively, lol, so does that count? I would never have known you were struggling with the grey and purple! They look perfect right where you have placed them! hugs, de

Stunning card Miss Pia...just love that image.
I love the purple with the grey. Actually, I think almost any colour looks great with grey but this combo is less predictable. This is a lovely, elegant card.
