Love:

This gorgeous Benson is coloured with my pens, and then I cut him out, and coloured and cut an extra set of hearts.  I love this red and kraft combination - great for Christmas, Valentines, and just for the fun of it!!  I die cut the loopy circle, and added a circle of kraft, before popping Benson onto 3d foam pads and adding him.  I then popped the extra set of hearts on to 3d foam pads and added them.  I love my gingham ribbon, especially this red, so a big bow was in order!!  Finally I added the flat backed pearls, which were colored using noe of my red pens.

Sentiment: Fiskars
Colouring medium: promarkers
