Before I get to the card details, I wanted to share a quick tip with y'all. I was asked the other day if I knew of a way to clean acrylic blocks and I thought I would share it here just in case someone else didn't know this trick. Hand Sanitizer!! Yep, a drop of hand sanitizer and a paper towel will clean up your blocks and have them looking brand new in seconds. I got a tiny Purell bottle in the travel section at Target for .99! It's going to last forever because 1 drop goes a long way. Okay, on to the card! I just got this adorable little set in called Summer Boys. It cracked me up the moment I saw it in the new TAC catty. I knew that I immediately wanted to use this image and give him orange hair :) His hair and skin are colored in with Copics, I then paper pieced the clothing on.
This Hip Hop paper from TAC was a perfect match for this little guy. It has bold, summer colors and it appears to have a great texture to it making it great for paper piecing. I followed this sketch that I found over on Amy's blog. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!I am a TAC demo.

So cute! Love him with the hip hop paper- love your coloring too! Great idea about the hand sanitizer- I usually just use rubbing alcohol.
Great layout and colors! Love his hair!
Kim - thanks for the tip about cleaning your blocks. I didn't know that and will be doing it tonight!
Now about your card - you can paper piece the smallest of images, huh? You aren't afraid of scissors, lol! VERY cute - I don't know what it is about this set but I think it's a cute one too...love the boy with the frog!
