Variations Week: Ali's View


For my interpretation of Anna Marine's gorgeous Mystery image, I decided to go completely the other way from the stunning artwork it's based on, and instead of doing dark, gothic colours, I went with pretty pastels and light colours. Amazing how different this image can look depending on how you colour it - just goes to show how versatile it is! :)
I teamed her with muted pink and grey papers and added gemstone flourishes and pretty flowers (punched/die-cut from white card and coloured with Promarkers to tone with the image) to finish.
You can find this lovely stamp at the Sweet Pea Stamps store, in both red rubber and digi versions.
