For Susie Australia's challenge today I couldn't resist this image from Mo Manning. He is colored with copics and pencils. His shorts and kite are stitched after piercing with a Pergamano piercing tool. Shoe laces were added using embroidery thread. The background is a combination of Tim Holtz scraps, gelli prints and the larger gray panel is done with glossy paper and spritzing a mat smeared with ink. Stitches were randomly added to the background. Mini eyelets were set and laced with fine twine. The sentiment is hand written. Thank you for looking!

It just doesn't get much cuter than this, Nancy. Fabulous details! When you take the time to finish a design this way it shows BIG time! Beautiful Copic coloring and added pencil work. AND an A+ for the handwritten sentiment - you're good you! (she smiles).

Oh, Nancy, your work is breath-taking and awe-inspiring. You know I love your subdued palette. Your attention to fine details is astounding! The criss-cross lacing and tiny scissors are indeed the finishing touches.

Just reading your details blows me away! Your "stitching" done with your tool ROCKS (that is a new one for me) and your coloring is just to "sigh" for! This image just makes me smile ALL over and all the finishing touches on this card shows what a truly AMAZING artist you are! Pat yourself on the back for this one...it is an "OUT of the PARK" creation!

This is unbelievably beautiful and fun Nancy! Your fancy stitching is so well done and adds so much interest to the card - both the detailed stitching and your framing stitching. Your coloring is superb - really. Wow! Into my faves. Hugz!
