Dare to be Different

Welcome

I don't usually use digital images on my cards, but I won this from Beccy's Place, and could not resist using it.


I used my Prismacolor pencils to add some shading and highlights to him, and some grass under him. 
I then framed him with a scored line.


The sentiment that prints with him does not include the birthday sentiment - that was stamped later.


The card looked rather plain with just a sentiment, so I trimmed the front panel and added the bold washi tape on the edge of the inside.

A CAS card that makes me smile.

I am linking this to:
(Stash Item - the Washi tape, first  time I have used this one)

Your card is fabulous Maxine, you did a wonderful job putting it together. The "grass" you added grounds the image nicely and I also like the extra sentiment and the pop of colour from the washi tape. Well done!
Cheers,
Beccy
