Second of the day and a huge challenge!!

Well, I know that I don't blow my own trumpet often but I am so pleased with how I managed to colour this image!! I thought after I had bought it, that perhaps I was being rather ambitious, but have genuinely surprised myself just a shame about the quality of the photo, I was losing the natural light. It must be the Copic talents of Wendy and Karen rubbing off on me, but I still have so much to learn!! I think I will be using this image loads more, because I just love his gorgeous face and big paws!!! This card I am entering into a few challenges, the first being my favourite challenge
Sweet Sketch Wednesday, sorry ladies I missed you last week!!
My Time to Craft which is Wild Thing, does't look very wild though, does he!!!
Simon Says Challenge - Fathers Day or Male Card

I have used Leo by High Hopes, he is gorgeous and a huge challenge for me to colour!!
Fathers Day sentiment by Cuddly Buddly
Coloured with Copic Sketch and Ciao markers, lots of them!!!
DP is Alison Ellis Boyzone
Dots Cuttlebug folder
Nestibilities are Pinked Circles
Raffia, card and Button from stash
I hope you like him as much as I do!!
That's it for tonight
Hugs Jo x

    Hi Jo - thanks for your good wishes and comments. Doing OK - and getting better. Some days really good, others mediocre, but feel I am getting there. Don't think I will be going back to work though, but that is Ok as well.

    Great card - reminds me that I need to do something for Dad as well.

    Love
    Valxx
