CAS on Friday #315 - Baby


I thought I would include a baby in an unexpected way on my card for the CAS on Friday #315 Challenge.  
 
I ended up chopping off a couple of inches of leg in the middle then drawing in a new shorter segment to make the image fit on the panel.  

I've listed the products used below.  
  • Viva Las Vegas Plate #1490
  • Copics:  E00, E11, E15, E29

ATSM #497 - Christmas



I watercolored a Birdie Brown MFT image in remembrance of the shop which recently closed. 



I wish it weren't so for a lot of the papercrafting companies and otherwise which have had to close these last few months.  Sigh.  They will be missed.
