Sunday Postcard Art Challenge - Pencils and Pens


This was a challenge for me! I began with a black and white image from e-Vint collages, coloured her and added a pencil hat and pencil skirt.  Then, I couldn't help myself for adding a pun.  2B or not 2B - that is the question!  The little cherub is from Lorie Davison at SBG (seen with his notebook and pencil) and the background, swirls on the hat and stitching are from Creativewing Designs.  The pencils (two separate pictures) were found on Google Images.
