I've coloured her with Flex and ProMarkers and used a white and sparkle jelly roll for the details....the super delicious papers are Bo Bunny 12" x 12"...and as if it wasn't bad enough that i cut into them i then proceeded to attack them with my distress tool...and added a liberal helping of stickles...the ticket sentiment is by Whimsy Stamps and the ribbon is from my stash...I've followed the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl :0)
