A Spoonful of Sugar - Sketch

Today A Spoonful of Sugar have a sketch by my lovely friend Lim - How could I resist - Lim's sketches are always so detailed and great to use.

I have used one of my favourite colour combos and the image came from the lovely Dawny P and is coloured with Pro Markers!!! I'm getting ever so slightly addicted to them!!!

The papers all came free with various craft mags and they were great to use.
