Show & Tell - Matryoshka embellishment

I made this little cutie matryoshka {Russian nesting doll} embellishment today. I’m going to use it for a mini album I’m working on.

I stamped my image on the inside of a security envelope. These are just regular envelopes you get at the office supply store or Costco. The envelope has a great pattern on the inside so I just flattened out the envelope and stamped my image. I cut out the center part of the image and put a scrap piece of patterned paper behind it. Next I stamped the same image onto white cardstock and cut out the face and flowers for the center. I used colored pencils to add a little color to the face. Then I cut out the hair from brown cardstock. For detail I used a white gel pen to dot around the center of the body and outlined the necktie. Stickles were then added to the flowers in the center and also on the necktie. The flowers in the center are raised with a foam pop-up.
