This is the second card I made for my god-daughter's little boy Archie (after I made his giraffe card into a framed picture).
I used an old 'Baby with Teddy' stamp from Lili of the Valley, stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks. You can still get him as a digi here - and I've just seen that there's 50% off most of the items in store for the next couple of days so it's the perfect time to get him if you want.

Looking at pictures of Archie I was struck by what a fabulous head of hair he has already, so I decided to paint in some hair on this lil chap so that he looked more like Archie.
It's far from perfect but I was so relieved that I didn't completely muck it up :D
Other ingredients:-
8x8" card blank
various papers from my stash
scalloped frame die from The Works
numbers die set by Debi Potter for Sizzix
