Vintage lady

Here's another page for my book of challenges. Using up scraps from papermania warm nostalgia pad. I've had these papers years and have used well keeping all left over bits too as I love it so much. I fussy cut out some of the floral elements and the main rose and other bits, tore up some of the other bits and glued them all down. Then a wash of tan paint over it all. When dry I stamped Indigo Blu script from Sarah's choice set and Indigo Blu Vintage flourish in tea dye and vintage photo distress inks and then the flourish again in gold ink. I know it doesn't show up well but it is all there.
I also wanted to use this vintage photo instead of a stamped image for a change. It has been triple embossed and bedazzles dropped into the hot Utee. I've used scraps of lace and string and an odd flower.
I'd like to enter this into
