Simon Say's Recipe

Oh boy - was this fun!!
Simon Says have a recipe for us to follow this week :- 2 papers, 3 embellies and 1 motive.
I've been itching to use this adorable image by Mo (Mo's digi pencil) and this I decided was the perfect challenge for it.



The image is coloured with Copics and matted and layered onto two papers from a ancient HOTP 'Soft tint' book I've had for eternity. (Pity I didn't follow Sketch & Stash's sketch - new image, old papers - I'm brilliant at hindsight!!)  My 3 embellies are two buttons which I've threaded brads through and one spotty brad. I decided some thing was missing so I did some faux stitching around the edges with a white pen. (Hindsight again - sigh!!) The sentiment is computer generated and I have added some ribbon I bought locally, so I hope this doesn't count as a 4th embellishment.
