Colourful Oscar....


Afternoon from a lovely sunny Scotland :)
I have a Squiggle Stamps card to share today.....I have definitely been inspired by the lovely weather and I have created a bright, bold card featuring the cute 'Oscar with Frame'.

I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas.....adding faux stitching with a white gel pen around the matting :)
The stamp is very versatile as you can stamp any greeting in the little frame...so handy for all occasions!
To finish I have added my favourite embellishment for 'boy' cards......buttons!!

I am entering my card into the 'Colourful' challenge #46 over at Pear Tree Designs.
