Brown Sugar - Hats, Heels and Handbags

The sketch that this card is based on is this one:

The image for this card comes from Sans Design.  The image can be found in her webshop:
http://shop.sansdesign.se/
This particular image is entitled "Feathers".  I have coloured the image using my copic markers RV13, W5, B32, E000.

The papers for the card come from Bearly Mine Design.  They are April Freebie 10 and December Freebie 04.  I think the December one is December 2011 as I've had it for a while.

The colour inspiration comes from the photo at Tuesday Alchemy.  The idea of the ribbon roses also comes from the photo even though the photo has bows.  It was the folds beneath those bows that made me think of these ribbon roses.

I'm not sure about the challenge for Brown Sugar - it says hats, heels and handbags but a couple of the DT cards are missing one of these items so I'm hoping that this one still counts with just the hat.
