This time we want you to use up your scraps. Here's what our challenge said: "Except for the card blank, no paper or card stock can be any larger than 3”x3” (or the equivalent sq. cm – 9) and all embellishments must come from your stash or be made from items on hand - NOTHING NEW.W
I had piles of scraps from my this summers Big Obsession - MME Little Boy Blue papers. So guess what I used!
I didn't punctually measure all my scraps, some of them might have been bigger but to use them I would have had to cut my scraps even smaller - I don't keep tiny pieces, they go into circular file or into my kids Next Big Projects. If I recall correctly the wee bits from these papers became a Patchwork Owl long time ago.
I used a funny birthday mutt from Isabella's store in keeping with my promise to make some more "man" cards. Colouring is done with Copic markers, I tried to keep that a bit "rough" and manly too, lol.
COPIC COLOURS:
Fur: E47/44/43/41
Cake: E99/97/35/33
Hat: YG97/95/93
Pom-pom: BG49/15/23
Table: W9/7/5/3, YG21
Background: BG:34/11/10/0000
Candle light: Y11/10/000, YR15
SUPPLIES:
Stamp: Isabella's Boutique
Coloring Medium: Copic Markers, Old Paper Distress Ink
Paper: MME Little Boy Blue
Accessories: twill ribbon and yarn bits, golden Dew Drops, drawing pin
Tools: Purple Cow guillotine, MS scoring board, Cuttlebug Herringbone folder, MS border punch, Quickcutz flourish die

You are so brilliant at coloring, I just sit and drool - and am inspired by your work. I totally would have passed this image up but now that I've seen it colored, I love it!
I had to laugh at the comment you left on my Simon Says Stamp & Show post - that you wanted to be me - haha, if you only knew how seriously intimidated I am by the talent on that blog - not just on the DT, but the participants too. Seriously, have you seen some of that work over there? I can't even figure out why they invited me.
Anyway, your card rocks, my friend!
Hope you are having a great week.
Hugs,
Linda
