The image is called Hobble & Cuddle and is coloured with Prisma and Polychromo pencils.

Paper is from my stash as is the ribbon

Sentiment - Ladybug Crafts Ink

I must also just say thank you for the Versatile Blog award that I received this week from the lovely Clare and also the lovely Christine .   I think I am going to have to opt out of passing this on simply because I have tried to pick 15 blogs and it is just so incredibly difficult. I feel that you all deserve to have the award from my blog so feel free to grab it and display.  Thanks ladies for passing it on and picking me as one of your choices. I hope you understand.
