Let's go fly a kite!

Good morning and hope that your morning is as bright as it is here! It's lovely when I get up to sit and have my first cup of tea of the day with the sun shining (although that hasn't been often this summer up to now! - but being always a 'cup half full' type of gal I keep hoping!).
I'm trying to make an effort not to witter on about drivel (I'm sure you're not really interested hearing about the trials of teenagers & pets with attitude!), so I'll get straight on to today's card!
I was asked to make a card for a little boy - and couldn't think of a more cute 'little boy' image than this one from Mo Manning

This digi stamp is called 'Kite' from MosDigitalPencil - and just love that little smile! 

I've coloured him with promarkers and pencils and added a little distress ink to the edges. The backing papers are from Coredinations and Tim Holtz, the two panels embossed with Crafts Concepts 'Starry Night' and then lightly sanded back, and the edges of the background square also sanded. The sentiment stamp is one of the Whimsy ticket sentiments (and ticket die cut), with some added twine and buttons (can' resist buttons!).  Quite a simple layout, but just think the image is a cutie, and didn't want to overwhelm him! 

Love the red and blue together (perhaps I'm feeling a bit patriotic?!) and he's such a lovely image - looks a bit cheeky, cute & grubby! (which is probably a general definition for most little boys! lol!).

Hope you like it.

Back soon, Kim x
