I love her eyes

Finally this week I manage to get the sketchy Thursday Lo completed in time and (to be a little bit naughty) I've combined it with the TAFOMFT challenge which is to scrap your favourite features

I chose Nancy's eyes- I love taking pictures with close ups of her eyes and using the pictures in black and which meant I could use a really simple colour scheme

I used a border punch in the same colour card to make a border that I hope you can see in the picture, punched a flower out of card for a embellishment at the top with a fancy brad and made a flower out of three punched flower shapes- very simple but pretty nice.
