Visible Image "Anything Goes" Challenge

Here's my entry into the above August challenge.  I've only recently bought some of the Visible Image stamps, and this is my first use of them.  I stamped Isabella out using Versamark, them embossed her using Twilight embossing powder. They really are deeply etched stamps and produce a really crisp image, I can see I will be buying more !  The link to the challenge is
