A study in brown

This is the latest digi image from Elisabeth Bell!! Isn't she just fabulous!!! She reminds me so much of my wonderful 'Daisy' stamp. (It must be the pose). I coloured her almost the minute I downloaded her!!
I've done another one in 'normal' colours, IYKWIM. My only bug bear with this card, is the ground.
I dropped a clanger when I was trying to create a shadow of where she is sitting and duffed it up a bit.
Well, I was a bit miffed to say the least but there was no way I wasn't using it, so hopefully, the two largish flowers are acting as a kind of camouflage. Apart from that little hiccough, I'm really pleased with how she turned out.
I've made her especially for one of my a lovely friends, who's birthday is imminent. (I hope she doesn't come on until she gets it in the flesh). Shhh. As it happens, it fits a couple of challenges...
Creative Card Crew  ( a sketch) and Stamp Something. ( A theme). Wish me luck!!

Great card, Viv! I f you would not have writen about "covering up" nobody would have noticed. I really love your colouring, but I think her hair should have some more colour, it looks almost grey...

Superb Viv, the colours are really fab and I don't think the ground detracts at all :o)

Gorgeous! Love the elegance of the papers and the way you colored the image!

P.S. What's a clanger? (Do I want to know? {giggle})

Hi Viv, this is such a nice card and you shouldn't worry how the card turned out. Rapunzel is adorable and the flower add a special touch to it which you wouldn't have without the hiccup :-)
