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!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I don't know how you think of all the wonderful accents you apply to your cards. the tiny stitching and tiny eyelets are incredible - must have taken a lot of time - such patience. The little boy is adorable and colored to perfection. The colors and layout are super. Pinned and fav'd!

Your sweet little boy put a giant smile on my face! You combine so many details expertly it is hard to know where to begin. Your colouring always blows me away and how you think up the additional touches is beyond me. ...the stitching, the scissors, the crisscrosses, the hand written sentiment. Wowsers!

Nancy, what wonderful coloring and I love how you've framed your focal image in a pale gray and yellow so the little guy really pops! The stitching and the charm are wonderful details. Great card!
