Little Alf from the Forest!

I was going to call this "Forest Thief", but he's not the thief, I am! I made this card for today's featured stamper on SCS, Karen Dunbrook. Here's the card I cased. I loved the use of all the pattern papers and her beautiful flowers. I couldn't just leave my CASEing at that so I also used ideas from two friends whose work I admire. Michelle
(Mommy Time)

makes these great blooms of all kinds using different materials. I also cased Sweet Miss Daisy's Anna Wight
She has been making these twill ribbon and button thingies on her cards. See, I AM the thief!

Here's sort of the side view so you can see he is up on dimensionals. The Basic Grey paper is from last year's Archaic 6x6 pad. I used the SU set, Three Trees, to make the area behind him look like a forest.

I got my Alf stamp from Magnolia-licious.

Now I want the sitting Alva, too! I colored little Alf with copic markers. I think his little vest looks like suede! The colors follow.

Greens: Yg91, YG93, YG95, and BG96

Browns: E31, E33, E35, E37, E57 and E77. The rust color is E08.

I used my usual face colors, but added a little extra E02 on his freckles and didn't blend it out so much.

Thanks for stopping by today!
