Make it Crafty challenge

So, the new challenge on the Make It Crafty blog is a few weeks on it's way, one more week left.
And I had to try this one, the theme: Skin!

Zoe always adds a little thank yo note in your "real"order, like stamps or chipboard!
And on the back is most of the time a part of one of her images.
I always keep those notes and color the image :D
So for this challenge I used one of those images.

I tried to color monochrome, also the skin!! And tried to add shape to the nose.

To buy this digi stamp, go here!!
