Some Odd Girl- Believe!

Hey everyone! I'm here to share an Odd Girl with you today. This is Believe and I actually won her in a previous SOG Challenge so I thought it was about time I inked her up!...


She's coloured with copics and I decided to mount her on a shaker oval. The beautiful Poppy stamps come as part of the stamp set. Sentiment is a Paper Smooches one.


Here's your close up. Thought I'd go for a misty-eyed shot!!
