pagemaps contest

i have been looking at pagemaps for years. 

i love to create but i can not get started without a sketch so if i have a mood board or a colour pallete im using for a challenge i go start to pagemaps for a sketch. 

when the new sketches came out at the beginning of the month they had guest designers and one of my favourites was on there. Nadia Cannizzo and she actually had this sketch to work with which was one of my favourites. (click on her name and see her interpretation of it ) so i was super excited when this sketch came up in a contest. 

and yes i headed over to the greatest view and actually boughts some flairs...i couldnt resist. 

here is the sketch

so here is my page

and a close up of that gorgeous face and the stitching

and another close up of the flairs that i purchased from greatest view

thanks for looking and any comments you may leave
