This image is colored with copics and sponged with Memento inks. The background is one from my stash, most likely ink free distress using a mix of brown distress inks. A few stitches were added and rug lacing thread was used for the X's. Thanks for looking.

This a fabulous creation! Love how you colored your wonderful image and sponged him. The stitching is great and those big Xs just top it off beautifully! TFS

What a face on that giraffe! So cute, and the background is such a great match. I love the stitching, and the lacing, and the punched edge and fantastic wooden beads! Welcome back, friend!

Holy Smokes! Look at this animal. your coloring is fabulous. I would never have guessed you used copics. Love the rustic feel, too. The twine, laces, everything ... it's all there and it's all lookin' good from where I sit.

This is just adorable, Nancy! I always enjoy taking in all the little extras you add to your design - stitching, beads and twine. Love your warm, soft backgrounds, too.
