Second Easel Card - Baby Boy


Hi all, tried to schedule this post, but couldn't figure out how (dim wit me) so will try another time as I was just playing. I will be showing a couple around our coaster campervan tonight so(keep your fingers crossed we sell). Our neighbours had a little boy yesterday and they have named him Zac, so whipped this up today, now for those that follow will think where was the first easel card, can't show you yet, but had so much fun had to make another, could not believe how easy they are to do. The image is from Doodle Palace, just adorable. I have used my favourate colouring medium Touch Markers and my only two copics (all say or poor thing) LOL! There is special effects on the tyres, elephants trunk, the birdy and eyes, also on some of the polka dots, just not too clear.
Distressed and sponged around the image, brads in the corners. All the dsp and ribbon were in my scrap box, sentiment from my stash.
Cardstock Stampin Up Baja Breeze.
Side view, some of the special effects shows a little, just noticed top corner, note to self to place sticky tape nearer the edge LOL!

Challenges
Tellens Place #2 - Sketch to the right
Incy Wincy Designs #26 - Colour me Wonderful - Use your favourate Colouring Medium
Stampin Sisters in Christ #22 - Create a card or project focused on the 'Home'
Pile it On #2 - Tie it around (use at least 3 ribbons)
Lots to Do #2 - Travel/Transport
A Spoon full of Sugar #87 - Lots of Layering

Thanks for looking, happy crafting, take careX:)
