Lil Dino


I found this older House Mouse stamp called Lil Dino in my stash and decided to make a card with it for my friend's grandson who's just 3. I love that it shows kindness without being scary which is appropriate for the wee ones. I colored the image with Copics, adding touches of fluorescent Copics to the pumpkin and candy corn. The stars were done with a very old (r) SU! set and then colored in with gold and silver markers and glaze pens. Both the image panel and card base were die-cut with Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies. 
The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

HMFMC#302 - A/G with an option of using a white on white background and coloring only the image.


Dies R Us # 131 - pumpkins and/or apples

the Male Room #122 - Halloween

Thanks for stopping by and have yourselves a great day!

So sweet! Love your starry sky. Now days if you tried to give out candy corn, they would throw it at you. Jim is a hold out and ate a whole bag... LOL! The little dragon suit is adorable!
