Oooooh - this was a real challenge for me as I love colour, but thought I would take the Dottie's World Monochromatic Challenge to the extreme, and use white, shades of grey, through to black. I love this Mikey digi. image (from Charmed Cards & Crafts) and thought he would be perfect for the colour scheme. I have used Copics in Cool Grey No. 1 and Cool Grey No. 3, a black and a grey watercolour pencil (without the water), a Black Sakura Glaze pen for the hair, and I just had to add a bit of flesh colour to his skin (wouldn't have looked very attractive in grey)! The spotty paper is from Doodlebug and the stamp is from HOTP.Thank you for visiting my blog.
Hugs, Sylvia xxx

This card is absolutely stunning Sylvia!
Mickey is perfectly coloured and the skin tone is just the perfect lift for the card.
I love everything about it!
(You do like 'em missing a feature or two in the face department don't you!)
The curve, the fold, the straight lines and polka dots make a Fabulous card!
