Lili Of the Valley Collective Card

Hi there I have my next Collective card to share today. I posted a little sneak last week.  I have to admit this little fellow was stamped a few weeks back and I tried several different ways to colour him, none of which I was happy with so I pulled out (and dusted off) my watercolour pencils and quickly realised they were perfect for this image.  I hand drew the clouds into the background and added highlights with a white gel pen. He then sat for another few days as I couldn't decide how to put him on a card as I wanted the image to be the focal point.  I finally decided to keep the design pretty simple.  I don't know about you but I really like the end result.



And just because I feel you need to get up close to this one......
