I clearly remember the days when my kids were so little that they were completely worn out after hunting Easter eggs in the early morning, often too tired to eat breakfast without at least a short nap beforehand. When I saw this precious image from Mariola Budek, I just had to color it and make an Easter card for one of my great-grands. :-D
Generally speaking, I prefer images of critters better than people because mostly critters are cuter but this darling image let me do both so it's a real win-win!
Once again, I used my new Sanjoki alcohol markers to color the image, then fussy cut it with scissors. I mounted it onto dimensional tape and layered it onto a plain card front. The sentiment was printed, cut with an Avery Elle die, and mounted on dimensional tape, also. I added tiny flowers, made by Petaloo, and called it finished. I really wanted the image to be the focus, not the embellishments, so I kept those to a minimum. Another Easter card for the stash, which is growing slowly.

I saw your card on Double D Easter challenge and had to come get a closer look! I agree with you in that the image is absolutely adorable! I am not on FB so I popped over to Etsy and found the artist there and got this very same image. I can hardly wait to bring it to life with color. Absolutely wonderful coloring on your part! xx
Awe! This certainly is an adorable image NC! I love how he's sleeping in his outfit! Beautiful coloring and looking forward to seeing more of your Easter makes!
