So Pretty!! by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge (#629) begins today.  This week's theme is:

ALTER IT 

(Alter your image in some way) 

My Design Team card showcases the fabulous So Pretty!! image by TPS.  I cropped the image so that the lower portion of her legs are not seen.  

I coloured her with Copic markers, and I added a handmade flower, also coloured with Copic markers.  I used some 3-D foam under the petals of the flower for added dimension.

I created a card once before using the entire image.  See below.
