When The Greeting Farm released their new Sprouts, I grabbed Eric right away. There aren't too many boyish images--or maybe I'm just not lookin' hard enough--and I just love his anime look. He may just be my new favorite Sprout!
I really like making easel cards and use Lysa's great tutorial here to make them. The finished size, folded, is 4x4" and I can make three easel cards from a sheet of 12x12" cardstock.
I paired up the kid's quote together with some star buttons and I stamped the portion of the stamp which shows the author of that quote. Kids are so thought provoking!
Stamps: The Greeting Farm, Inkadinkado
Ink: Memento, Versafine, Ranger Tea Dye distress ink
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink, Martha Stewart
Paper: Fancy Pants
Other: Copic markers, EK Success binder edge punch,
buttons, twine, pop dots
Edited to add: Thanks to Shirley for directing me to Copic Creations challenge #26--coloring black hair. What a happy coincidence that I gave Eric black hair! Thanks, Shirley!
This is so darn CUTE, Donna! Love the little star buttons, they are a wonderful touch :0)
