Stampotique Sketch Challenge

This fortnight Kim has chosen to have a sketch for the Stampotique challenge. It's Stampotique stamps only, and I'm ashamed to say that this is the first time Prom Queen has been inked!
The DP's are all Marah Johnson's for Creative Imaginations. They've been distressed, inked, and generally mistreated :o)
Prom Queens's been stamped directly onto the paper, then coloured with a white pen to give her the black and white grungy look.
The nuts and screws are rub-on's, and I added a little star charm just to finish off.
Then I walked away - yup left it at that, no kitchen sink thrown at it (ok I wanted to  watch the Royal Wedding - hey it gave us a day off work so it was the least I could do).
I really enjoyed this challenge, and there are lots of fab examples and a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate over at the Stampotique challenge blog.
Thanks very much for looking and have a fab weekend
