When I saw Ann (Dockside) use this terrific image, I went on a hunt for him. You can see her card here. Since it is an obsolete stamp, Ann was kind enough to stamp a few images for me! Thanks Ann! This guy was so fun to do. He's colored with copic and pencils. Glossy accents were added to his glasses and enamel accents were added to his shoes. A few stitches were added after I die cut with matting basics.
The background layers are from my stash. They were done on glossy paper using home made walnut ink combined with distress inks.
Thanks for stopping by.
