For my card, I stamped the Billy image on some textured light blue cardstock, some plaid paper, and on white.  I paper pieced his shirt and pants, and colored the rest with markers.  I sponged around the edge with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink and matted with the light blue.  I used the same plaid paper for background and matted that with the same light blue.  I punched the border with a Fiskars punch and added scored lines with my Scor-Pal.  The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.  It looked a little bare, so I stamped the medallion with a Stampin' Up! set and cut with Nestabilities.  EDITED TO ADD:  Actually, I'm pretty sure I used punches for the medallion squares. :)  I sponged it with the Antique Linen again, too, and added a brad.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
