Scribbly dolls

I had so much pure fun doing this girl. She's all ball point pen scribbles!! The background is some watercolors, Unity stamps and Dylusions sentiment. I'm going to get some Sticklers to bling her up some more. Thanks so much to Ady Almanza for the great workshop. (http://adrianaalmanza.blogspot.com/) and all the amazing inspiration! 
Just as a side note. The toughest part about this project was not being able to blend. I'm so used to blending! But it was a great exercise.
