You may remember a while back I got to hold one of the Olympic Torches (
here). Well we had another Olympic-themed day when I got to meet Richard Chambers, our very own silver medalist in the lightweight men's fours in the rowing. He's a lovely guy and his medal weighs a tonne!
Anyway, on to today's card for this week's Paper Smooches sketch challenge. I had another go at the
splatter technique and used some black, purple and orange watercolours. Wee batty coloured with copics and clear gloss added to his eyes and teeth. Heart popped up on dimensionals. Purple panel and heart embossed with cuttlebug spiders web folder.
