I found this piece of DP in my stash. I've had it for years and not used it, so all these images of Riley popped in my mind. I used the Floral Fantasy and cuttlebug on this piece. Hope it shows up.
I just couldn't see any self-respecting moose outside watering his flowers nekkid, so I dressed him. I hand drew (Yes, Jeanne, I did) the bib for the overalls and colored them with the closest blue I had to denim. The sponging is done with Faded Denim Distressing Ink from Ranger. On the card trimmed in orange, I pieced some denim DP to make his jeans. His old faded red shirt is like one my husband wears that looks like long-johns.
I do have one question for anyone who sees these and might know. As y'all know, mooses are rather scarce down here in Texas. What color are their antlers????? None of my pencil/color sets have a color called moose horns, so I just went with gray. Our deer horns are rather an ecru color, but I didn't have that in my pencils, either.
Y'all have a great Easter. Probably my last upload till that's over.

They are kinda like the color of a Moose antler.........tee hee. The Mr. had a photo he took on a hunting trip and the antlers looked dirty brown and grayish. I mean really, what color would your antlers be if you was as ugly as him and thrashed around in the wilderness all the time?
This is too darn cute and I am so proud of you for drawing!
