Bedtime Prayers - MP challenge 52

Hello everyone! I was sitting in my craft room yesterday pondering what to make. I've REALLY had an itch for coloring the last few weeks. So I started going through my stamps and came across this La-La stamp, "Bedtime Luka". I though to myself, "that would make a cute little wall hanging". Then my next dilemma, what colors am I going to use? I tend to use the same colors over and over so I stared at them trying to decide. I want to use colors that I'm not so comfortable with. I won't get better if I don't practice, right? So I narrowed it down to red, green, or yellow. I couldn't make up my mind so I thought I would see what the markerpop bi-weekly challenge was...GREENS! That sealed it for me! I will be entering this wall hanging in the challenge over at markerpop.com I stamped my image on Express it cardstock in Memento, Tuxedo Black ink. I colored him with my copics as follows- Hat and Onesie Cuffs/Collar: YG0000, YG41, YG45. For the poufy ball: W00, W1, W3, W5. Onsie Sleeper: G000, G05, G09, G07 and G29 on the zipper. Skin: E0000, E000, E02. Hair: E27, E47, E29, E49. I took a 6x6 piece of chipboard. I glued down a piece of twine at the top us use as a hanger. Then found this piece of scrap cardstock for the background. I got it in a RAK so I can't tell you who makes it. I took my Ranger Emboss it marker in clear and wrote the words "Now I lay me down to sleep" and used copper embossing powder on it, then adhered it to the chipboard. I inked around my image in Tim Holtz Distress ink in Peeled Paint and backed it with some craft cardstock. I went around the boarders with lace that I had in my stash and finished it off with some green flat back pearl trim. I think I'm going to send this to my brother-in-law and his wife. They are expecting their second child! Can't wait to see what they think of it!
