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.

I LOVE this! How sweet of Anne to share this fanciful stamp with you.... Once again your coloring is just FABULOUS. You are OH SO talented in this area....(as well as many others) Your background and framing are wonderful accompaniments...and your signature stitching is the perfect addition to one of the cutest images I have seen in a while. Wonderfully done!

Doesn't he look wonderful Nancy! I love how you coloured him up! Your stitching is always a great touch and looks super with your framing. I'm sure your recipient will enjoy him too!

Nancy, this turtle could not be cuter. Your coloring is awesome, and I love how you use those random stitches. I need to dust off my sewing machine and do some of this, thanks for the inspiration. Another wonderful card! Hugs, Sue
