Khaki Kid


It's time for a new challenge.

It starts today over at
The Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor this time is 

and this is one of their images called

The theme this time is blue and green.


I coloured the image with polychromo pencils. As the theme is blue and green I  wanted to try and make his clothing khaki coloured. The background has been made using a Sweet Poppy stencil called Stripes backplate. I first used it vertically with blue distress oxide, then turned it horizontally and used green distress oxide.


I've used a border punch piece of card and tied blue and white string round it. Then die cut a veritcal happy birthday sentiment to finish it off.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
