This is my second card for this challenge. I have used this cute image which was sent to me in a RAK from the lovely Pat Smethers...I just love the Gruffies and this one is no exception!!!
The image is coloured with chalks and a blender pen (and a cotton bud) then I used Dimensional Magic on the teapot and cup to gaive it a bit of 'oomph!' Although I don't have the exact colours I have used as close as possible from my stash and I really like the combo (thanks Emily for that!)
I have used nail bling on the corners, it has become a favourite of mine as they are so subtle yet add so much...they don't seem to scream out 'look at me, look at me!' as the bigger ones do...in saying that I have used a half gem on the flower brad!!!
I am hoping you like this little guy...thanks for looking and for your feedback, it is a highlight in my day reading your comments!!

Be-u-ti-ful! This is one of my favorite images! You have done an outstanding job with him! He looks so cozy, doesn't he? Love your 'baby' bling and how you have tied the ribbon. Let me know when you run low sistah!

Linda, you did this with chalks??! Okay, am I ever so envious! I could no sooner do this great coloring with chalks than fly. YOWSA, this is not only a great image, but your coloring and layout are fantastic. (Do I need to fly down under for some lessons in chalking? Me thinks so ...) Terrific card, lovely lady. tfs
