Today's entry uses Lil Lad Eric, one of the newer images from Tickled Pink Stamps, and I've teamed him up with Spots and Stripes for their current challenge. He looks so sweet and innocent, but when he takes off those Clark Kent glasses......look out!
This striped paper is from my stash, but I've added some brown detail stripes so that I could accent with brown. I've played with the paper, reversing and matching the stripes on the bottom section, which draws your eye to the image. So do the arrows, which are transparent stickers placed over cardstock and then cut out. It's is amazing what cool stuff you can find hiding in drawers! Have you checked your's lately....just pretend it's a bargain bin! lol
A bit of ribbon and some faux stitching on the borders basically finishes it off, definitely leaving the image as the focal point.
Hopefully you all have a wonderful day, staying safe and sound and healthy. Until next time, be sure to check out these challenges for some more inspiration:

Really cool card and love the way you have played with the stripes. You're right about old stash, wonder what's lurking in there. That arrow looks great. Thanks for playing at Crafter's Companion. Marianne x (I have some candy on my blog.)
