This is what I call "tools run amok!" I had one idea in my head, and then I just kept adding and adding and adding stuff to this card to the point where I just had to stop myself! It's a little on the overdone side, but I DO like the little raccoon with his beans on a stick!! I think I may have to redo this on a smaller card. I copied my daughter, Amelia's, sketch from last week - SC190 - and turned it into an A2 card. I just wanted to be able to use my new Cuttlebug leafy branch embossing folder and was afraid they wouldn't show up on a smaller card. Sigh . . .
This is for WT181 - colored pencils. I haven't used mine in, well, a 'coon's age, so, here ya go!!
Thanks for lookin'!

You run amok sooo well and I don't think this is overdone at all. All your details coordinate so well with the theme of your card and that is a great ribbon panel. Your raccoon is an adorable little guy for sure.

I had to laugh! The first time I heard this expression, it came out of the mouth of my new DIL, a paramedic!! She is a big woman, over 200# and over 6 feet tall! Now, every time I think of her!! This card is so cute...great coloring, and love the grasses bg!!!
