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!

Perfect little guy on a perfect little guy card! Once again, I'm awed by the detail you put into each of your cards. Your signature stitching is always gorgeous, and the shoelaces just blow me away! And if I could write that beautifully I'd never buy another sentiment stamp!

Oh my goodness guess what turned up in today's mail!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO. Nancy I don't know where to start, I said this was another jaw dropper when I saw it here in the gallery, it is even more precious in real life. The little eyelets are incredible, but nothing will ever top the teeny tiny little bows on his boots. Thank you soooooooo very much Nancy. I am blessed to call you my friend.
