August So Artful Challenge!!!

So Artful Challenge/Theme: MAPS
The color palette for this challenge is pastel blue, pink, peach, and green!

This is my art piece for the August So Artful Challenge!

Even If I Have To Pawn My Jewels!

 I tried to keep the images and embellishments
 in the pastel colors requested for this challenge
 until I found this beautiful painting
 (at Wikipedia Commons) of Queen Isabella, I!

 I experimented with different pastel 
colors to change the dark burgundy hues 
of her dress but any editing I did just 
kept washing out all of the color and 
detail of her beautiful  face.

So I decided to leave her image, as is,
 and hope that the pastel colors 
in the rest of the piece will reflect
 the color palette in this theme! 

Thank you for this wonderful challenge!
