Spots or Stripes

Another fortnight has flown by and it's already time for a new challenge at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia!  Our theme this fortnight is Spots or Stripes, so a nice, easy one for you.

I got this fabulous Edwin stamp in the post recently and couldn't wait to ink him up for our challenge.



I used American Crafts and Simple Stories papers with Bazzill cardstock in blue and white.  As I wanted to keep the layout fairly simple I just used a couple of buttons from my stash as embellies.  Edwin has been coloured with Copics and I put a wee touch of silver Liquid Pearls on his buttons and the tiny little cufflink.
