William At Work

  
Hi

There's a great challenge over at Simon Says Challenge at the moment, it's a Special Children's Challenge - time for you to hand over to the kids and let them create to their hearts desire !!!!

Well, William was really keen to enter - he loves the cards I make and is always complimentary about my creations. 

I decided that I would let him loose - within reason of course, no Copic / Promarker Colouring !!!! 

He chose a cute digi called Whimsical Bunny, which is a freebie image from Beccy's Place and coloured it with pencil crayons. 

He cut it out using a large square Nestie, he loves my Big Shot!!!  He found some pretty papers and used the Big Shot again to cut two Nellie Multiframe Circles. 

He raided my flower stash and found some matching flowers and a pretty brad for the centre.

So, here's his grand creation - I have to say that I am amazed. I only helped him with the bow for Bunny's bow tie, he struggled to tie it as it is really small.   He obviously pays a lot of attention when I'm creating.  I may have to up my game if this is the level of competition I have LOL!!!

Here's a close-up of his colouring - he's even added some shading !!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.  I hope you like this creation from my little apprentice !!!

Hugs
