La-La Land Crafts-Monochromatic

Hello everyone.

I hope this blog post finds you all well.  We welcomed a new addition into our family this week, his name is Alfie. He is a gorgeous 9 week old Golden Retriever that is full of mischief and love.
He has taken up a lot of my time, lets face it who could pull themselves away from this little guy.
However I did manage to find the time to drag myself away to make this card for this weeks Monday Inspiration post for La-La Land Crafts.

This week the theme is
Monochromatic!
You have seen this little girl before on my blog, I just adore her.
It is of course Tricycle Marci.
Copics used:
W1, W3, W5, W7.

If you would like to play along this week upload your Circle Card creation to the Customer Gallery and you could be in with a chance to win a prize at the end of the month.
We would love to see what you create!

Take care
