Want to fly a kite?

Hello all and hope that your week is going well? Thank you for all the lovely comments you've been leaving - they mean so much!  It's a lovely sunny morning here - but cold! And I've a list of jobs in front of me to do today when I'm not at work (well, the paid variety of work lol!) - sigh! 

But before I head off and get busy, it's time for a new challenge over at Whimsy Inspirations.  This month the challenge is 'Stitch It!' so we'd like to see some stitching on your creations (either real or faux).  And I've used one of the new releases from Crissy's Digis "Want to fly a kite"


Isn't he a cutie? And such a cheeky smile!  I've coloured the image with promarkers and flexmarkers

and although the card is mostly soft blue shades I quite liked the 'pop' of red for his jacket!  The papers are from Nitwit at LOTV, layered with coredinations card. The ribbon is from stash. The sentiment stamp is also from Whimsy - Raindrop Echo 'ticket notes'. Then I've simply added some buttons with twine and a little reel of twine. 
Hope you like this little chap - and I hope you'll join us at Whimsy Inspires for the Stitch It! challenge.   
Back soon,
Kim x
