Anyway, thanks for reading through this mega long post. Here's my card using CG's adorable image 'Lil Gabe'

Isn't he a cutie???. I've stitched the BP squares onto some leather effect card, distressed with some Vintage Photo DI. It took me ages as I'm useless at sewing lol. The image is coloured with promarkers and masked before adding the sky with some Stormy Skies DI. Again Vintage photo and more stitching around the edges of the images. The corners are cut with my cricut and coloured with the same inks.

Lil Gabe is going to be entered in the following challenges:

Passion for Promarkers: Sketch plus a male theme

Allsorts: Sketch

Magical Crafts: Something for a male/Fathers Day

Crafty Creations: Its a Stitch Up

Raise the Bar: What a Special Guy

Cupcake Craft Challenge: One for the boys

Incy Wincy challenge: for the Guys

Thanks for taking part in the blog hop, I can't wait to see your creations and GOOD LUCK with the scrummy candy!!!

Now pop on over to Gina's blog and leave her some love
