Theodore

I created this birthday card for a friend at church.  The image I used is called THEODORE and is from Bugaboo Stamps. I started with a black card base and added a piece of red card stock just slightly smaller than the base.  The strip of dotted card stock across the center of the card was created by using an eraser on the back of a pencil dipped in black ink and added randomly to a piece of red card stock. I backed it in black card stock and added a black ribbon across the center of it.  I then added a piece of red card stock that I backed in black card stock.  The image is colored using crayola and prisma color pencils. I backed the image in black card stock.  I finished the card by adding 3 gray flowers.  I addded white pearls in the center of each flower and up in the corner of the square.  I also added a lady bug button onto 2 of the flowers.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Catch The Bug: Anything Goes
