Musing Melinda - thinking of you

Finally got around to buying a few Whiff of Joy stamps designed by Elisabeth Bell - they are all beautiful but this one has to be one of my favourites. She's so sweet.... and it's amazing how different colouring completely change the look (I have done another one with green ink and brown-green colouring, might finish that later today).
Lovely Musing Melinda, embossed in gold (VersaColor), coloured with promarkers (yellow and blue tones, plus skin tones and ivory). Various papers (old stash and new), scissored borders, some punched flowers, stamped butterflies, handwritten sentiment in gold.
The dark-blue paper is about 20 years old (actually a stash of long-forgotten letterpaper), the card stock (watercolour paper) and scissors about the same age (old stuff keep well :-)). Stamps and flowers brand new (as is the embossing - only got the heat gun a few days ago!)
Entering this in the CES Challenge Angels&Fairies and into the always fun Sketch N Stash challenge
