Kenny K's Challenge #7 - Sketch


This week KK has this great Sketch by Donna. I so love these stamps and this is one of the new ones that I just bought. I don't usually do hair color in the blacks thinking that they will turn out looking old and gray but I think this one works. I found these great papers in my stash from Basic Gray and went with the green. I hope you like it.

Materials:
Stamps: Kenny K, Amuse
Paper: SU basic black, barely banana, DP Basic Gray
Embellishments: punches, copic, pearls and gems

Thanks for lookin'
