For today's Ways to Use It Challenge, WT264: Sweet Child, to use a sweet child image in your card. And since I couldn't play the CAS challenge on Monday, this is also for CAS60, a sketch challenge inspired by this card: Embrace Life by PaperInBloom at Splitcoaststampers
The sweet child image was definitely a challenge for me. If you've ever cruised my gallery, you may have noticed that I don't have much of a defined style (best described as "eclectic," I'd say--I'm all over the place), but I'd say that "sweet child" is not really my *style*, such as it is!! I guess with a 7YO and an 11YO of my own, I've got just about all of the "sweetness" I can handle!! I can count on a single hand the number of "sweet child" images I own. But I do have this adorable little guy from the SU Very Thankful set, so I pulled him out to use today and colored him using the gamsol magic technique with colored pencils.
My kids will need to write a few thank you notes this weekend for Easter gifts and cards they've received this week. So I this will be perfect for them to use. I love the bright child-like colors and great detail in the Basic Grey June Bug DP.
Thanks for stopping by!

Emzi, I see you used a tally of 3 punchez on this card if I'm not mistaken. I liked your most recent upload when you gave an official punchez tally!! I see Dizzy ~Isaiah~ is giving us a hard time for scolding her when not using enough punchez!! But, you are right on track my friend! I just got this stamp set and I LOVE this lil' kid. You did such a fun job with it. May The Punchez Stay With You!! TFS!!
