Alf's Wish-Full Thinking- ROP DT

Oh boy... I fell in love with this gorgeous boy. His name is Alf!! His droopy eyes, that whimsical one-sided smile, those freckles... and that black wavy hair... he's so darn cute!!!
Don't you just love him?? :)

He just seems to be up to something.. but in this image he's like playing the "innocent- I did nothing- boy"!






As soon as I inked this stamp, I just wanted to see it finished, and mounted.. together with the big Jingle Jangle mushroom, and a couple of smaller mushrooms that a friend of mine had stamped for me some months ago (from the fall collection I think).
I coloured this lovely guy with watercolours, and finished him off with some glittery subtle gel pen colour to deepen the blue in his clothes (to match the DP). I can tell you it won't be last you've seen of my darling Alf... and if you'd like to make some pretty boyish cards.. rush off to purchase these gorgeous stamps.. and also you MUST see Alva.. she's an elf princess herself!! :)You can meet them here :)

I kept the card simple, based on a sketch there is for this week's challenge at Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog. I intend to give it to my brother for his Birthday! (ssshh I hope he's too busy to see this from UK!)
The DP I used is HOTP Earth Palette paper pack, and as you can see I embossed (again!!) the background with Sizix Stylized Flowers embossing folder.I love this folder! Then I chalked it with blue decorating chalks to coordinate it with the rest of the card.




I hope you like it.. and for those who sent me kind messages during this week (as I was sick with flu), I want to thank you so much for your thoughtfulness... especially Summer, and my fellow DT members of Roses on Paper.
