You know how to make me smile - Crafty Sentiments

Tuesday January 14, 2020

Hello.. It's time for another challenge over at 

Crafty Sentiments.

Our theme this week is ANYTHING GOES

I am using this sweet boy.. Henry day dreaming. He's thinking of you and day dreaming.. I colored the image with copics. I used Simon says wonky die. I added him to a piece of blue card stock. I added My favorite things sentiment. (notice his levis.. I used a scrap piece of levi material and added some copic 0 - colorless and after I colored the levis and nothing else I laid the dampened levi material on the image and removed. It removes some of the ink leaving a levi texture look..) I like this thinking of you card / Valentine card.. To a special grandchild, friend.

This cute image is Christmas Shopping... sadly it's almost time for Christmas.. Of course I haven't done any shopping but truth be told.
