Whimsical Mannequin with Flourish Background

Whimsy is the key word for today's post.  Check out this cool Mannequin stamp from Carmen's Veranda.  It is oh so whimsical!!  Love the effect of stamping the image with brown ink and coloring with Copic Markers.

Just love the Daisy Flourish as a background stamp!  I think it's a great way to have a custom background for my focal image.
