Tiddly inks and digi paper

Finally Friday! I hate to say it but I have become one of those people who live for the weekends and/or their days off. I enjoy my job but you need downtime too to be able to function well. This is a Tiddly Inks image called Belinda. I love the image but do NOT like the way I colored the hat. I think I would have been better to shade the bottom and leave the upper portions light not shade the sides. And on here the blending looks horrible but it isn't that bad really. The paper I used is by Bearly Mine designs and is very pretty but kind of washed out looking when I printed it. I have since reprinted it after fussing a bit with my word program and have gotten it a bit more intense which is what I prefer. I did spritz it with some iridescent gold glimmermist and that adds a nice sheen. My flowers are made of felt with a pearl center. The pearl is from the wedding section at Michaels, it is actually a brad so it worked well to thread it thru the center of the flowers. I have added some glossy accents to her purse and shoes and the flower on her hat is some bling.
