Take a Word #11 - Beauty

Hold on to your hats everyone.  I actually altered the dancer without resorting to digital.  I chose two black and white images from e-Vint collage sheets, taking the head from one  and the body from another.  I used Prima Colors, Copic pens and a Uniball white pen.  The Prima Colors and Copic pens don't cover darker shades so if anyone has advice on what to use  I would be grateful for it. 
Background and letters from Tangie Baxter at SBG.

    Well what can I say since this has taken my breath away completely. I am in awe and my copic pens are calling to me. A very low bow from my corner my friend.
