Our Challenge for you at The Paper Shelter this week is ‘For the Boys’ I’ve chosen this cute little clown and coloured him in greens and blues to keep with the male theme. Just perfect for a little boys Birthday don’t you think?
For a closer look:
My image was printed onto Copic Express Card and coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. The Copics used are as follows: skin: E11, E00, E000, R20 hair: E35, YR24, YR21, YR20 clothes: BG78, BG75, BG72, YG23, YG16, YG11, G20 I have added some buttons as juggling balls for effect.
I’ve limited the embellishments as I didn’t want the card to be girly. Don’t forget to pop over to the Paper Shelter Challenge and take a look at the wonderful creations from the rest of the DT and have a try at our ‘For The Boys’ Challenge for a chance at a terrific prize

Super shape, lovely colouring! Great little sentiment clasp. I’ve got some of those – I shall have to dig them out! Hugs, Lesley
Julie this is simlpy wonderful. Really love the great little image & as always your amazing coloring !!! The buttons for the juggling act was pure genius & only you could have come up with that perfect idea. Do you use Copic markers or pencils to get that wonderful “grounding” under the images. I really like that look but when I’ve tried it just looks like a bunch of chicken scratching. Yours look fantastic.
