Archie's 1st Birthday

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
coloured raffia from The Works
buttons from stash
black fineliner pen
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Thanks for stopping by, stay safe
