These Sketch Challenges have become a favourite of mine - thanks Roxie for the inspiration week after week!! This is my first attempt at a 'Riley' I have been a bit 'skeered' (as sistah Pat says) of doing a card with him on it....not sure what to do or where to go with him, especially when I have seen so many great Riley cards here BUT I decided to 'bite the bullet' today and have a go!! This image is part of a RAK from Sue (aka Coffeestamper and Perk) Thanks so much Sue for your kindness to me - I appreciate it!
I coloured Riley with chalks and layered him on blue card stock, which I 3Ded onto the card. The rest is pretty self explanatory and so easy to make...it is nice to do a quick and easy one every now and then! I lightly inked the CB strip, not to give it colour but just to add a bit of depth - colour on colour seemed to do that! I added the inked and torn corners to give it a touch that has almost become a signature for my cards - I love the finish they give and most cards I do just feel incomplete without them....I guess it comes down to personal taste and style - what do you think!?
Thank you for looking, I hope that I have done Riley justice, I know he is so popular on SCS - I look forward to your comments...I think LOL!!

Super cute! Love this Riley image! You did a wonderful job coloring it! I haven't received this one as a WRAK yet, but I am hoping...
A WRAK is a wish RAK. When you belong to the RAK group you get to do some wishes and grant wishes also. Is a fun group, I like it and I enjoy receiving images. Anyone can join, you should join too.
Awesome job on the SC! TFS!
