ric#34--Reem Acra

 
I have enjoyed playing along with some of the challenges out there in blogland and I found this inspiration photo from Runway Inspired Challenge and just couldn't get it out of my head.  Now I have to admit, that the end result is not as dramatic with what I had in mind but I kinda like it!
 
Since I've never inked up Embroidered Blooms from PTI, I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  My interpretation was literal with just a pop of red (hence the model's red lipstick).  Here ya go....
 
THANKS

    Wow!! This fits the inspiration photo so well! It has such an Asian flair to it and it is very striking! I love how you've used the stamps and made the insides darker than the outside. Really very pretty!
