Sugar Bowl Boy

Kathy has done a fabulous sketch over on the Sugar Bowl with an added option of shabby chic, I inked round the edges of the cardstock afraid thats the shabbiness I could muster. I do love this Home Grown stamps he reminds me on my nephew although he is very blonde and this chap I coloured his hair brown so it didn't clash with his jumper.
The papers are Kaiser craft, I used MS zig-zag punch unfortunately its got a bit lost, the wheel thing I handcut out, its a template I made years ago when I used to handcut all my titles and if Mr Blogger lets me you can see the layout I used it on originally here.
One of the things I think is odd is Craftwork cards selling the tiny circles when they are so simple to make. Here I used a stampin' up 1/4 inch punch but I've have in the past used the dots left from using the croc-a-dile although its 1/6 and a bit smaller, I then used an embossing tool and make the rounded shape.
The sentiment is from Hobby Art, I wanted a new home sentiment and I had to buy a set of sentiments to get it and this was one of them.
I really pleased with myself the secret project is nearly finished, just the front page, I plan to finish it and photo it while the sun is shining.
