I started with barely banana cs as the base. I layered with chocolate chip and close to cocoa cs. I used a distress tool for the edges. I also used the CB bubbles on the close to cocoa cs. I used DCWV dp, distressed the edges and tied a ribbon. I stamped the image with Timber Brown Stazon, used primascolor pencils, mineral spirits and blending stumps to color onto watercolor paper. I sponge lightly with tellement safari ink around the mouse. I also layered with chocolate chip cs. The image is raised used with 3D squares.
I didn't have room to stamp Happy Father's Day on the front so I did on the inside. I think my dad will love this.
Thanks for the inspiration Jeanette.

Yikes, _onnie, is this ever adorable. So glad to see you back in your game with this one. I absolutely love HM images, but I cant color them to save my life, but you sure can. This is just amazingly fun!
