I considered "Bird" and "Butterfly" and even "Bricks", but in the end I went for
"Brave" - as in Native American warrior.
The stamp is from Creative Expressions, and I stamped it onto the reverse side of a piece of Centura Pearl. I made three masks - one of the whole stamp, one of the brave's face and headdress, and one that masked off the outer part of the card (leaving the inner frame open).
First I masked off the whole of the stamp and coloured the background using my ink dusters and Big & Juicy inkpad (Foliage). I picked up inks in the Ginger/Cranberry/Butterscotch sections. The ink dusters make blending SOOOO easy, I love them. Then I masked off the brave's head and the area I'd just coloured, leaving the circular frame behind the face open. This time I used the Waterfall Big & Juicy to get the blues and a hint of green.
Finally, I coloured in the face and headdress with Promarkers and stuck the definition onto the card. Job done!
Thank you for stopping by!

And what a handsome brave you have made. Not quite as handsome as Johnny Depp is as Tonto but just about!!

Great word choice and I love your interpretation. MMx
Brave - great choice! Beautiful, brave warrior!
Love the word you've chosen Keren! I often try to choose something a little different and I think this is very clever. A wonderful image of your 'Brave' too (I always preferred the Indians to the Cowboys!!).
