I love this little guy......

I think he is adorable, it takes me back to when mine were little and standing on stage in their tea towels!
I've used the sketch over at Inspirational Card Sketches, though one of the panels is slightly hidden by the flower. Spoonful of sugar have the theme 3flowers, 2 buttons and 1 ribbon this week, they do have the option of a shaker card in there but I chickened out on that one. Which ties nicely in with the Papertake Weekly challenge of 3-2-1!
The flowers are Papermania, I think they are years old! The image is from LOTV and has been coloured in with distress inks. The papers are from Bearly Mine Designs. They are the freebies on the site, it's so nice to try before you buy..........and I'll defo be back to buy! They are gorgeous and I was really pleased how I managed to change the colour in PaintShop Pro. Who's a clever girl then? Actually I just read the book which I've had for 2 years (finally) and it was easy peasy.

I've made an easel card again which accomodates the third flower nicely. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the die cut snowflakes are Marianne dies. The ribbon is from my local craft shop.

Thanks for dropping by.
