Tobey Roller Skating

 I don't make many boys cards, I think its having 2 girls in the house, but I do enjoy making them, and there are so many fun images out there.  This is a fab one from Crafty Sentiments, and I simply coloured Tobey in using my pens, and did a stippled background.  The dp is from Basic Grey, and I kept the layout pretty embellishment free, just adding a bit of card candi, and the sentiment.

Supplies:
Sentiment: Crafty Sentiments
Colouring medium: promarkers 
Skin: sunkissed pink, blush, ivory, pastel pink 
Hair: umber, walnut, cocoa, cinnamon, tan
Clothes: cool grey 1-5, black, 
burgundy, crimson, ruby, lipstick red, petrol blue, marine, turquoise
Papers: Basic grey Oliver
 Embellishments: card candy
Tools: spellbinders ovals

Challenges:
Allsorts - masculine
Stamptacular Sunday - spots and stripes
Make my Monday - one for the boys
Glitter n Sparkle - boys are made of slugs and snails

I might need to get him. He reminds me of a small boy who is related to me ;-)

Stippled background? Do I just dot round with pens? I can see that going horribly wrong!
