I was inspired by Sherry's card here: LSC175 A Class Act by BadSherry at Splitcoaststampers I didn't think I could do this challenge today, but when I saw hers, I just had to try!
I could've simplified it a bit more I think, but anyhoo, I am excited cuz I did the challenge and used more new stamps!
Thank you Judy, (StampingQueenJAR) for hosting this terrific challenge today! I did it! Four layers, four embellishing tools/things and Red White and Blue! (ok, I had to use flesh tone on his face, I didn't want to use blue and make him look like he was holding his breath for an hour and about to pass out!) I even used blue in his hair!
I colored the main image using Tombow pens and spread them with water.
All images by High Hopes Stamps.
TFL!

Crissy, this is adorable! I so wish I had your artistic talent for coloring images. Your little fella does remind me of Alfafa, as well. I'm so glad you decided to play!
