Mr Magoo has nothing on you!

This one is for all the myopic crafters and artists out there - yep, I have the eyesight of a mole without my trusty contacts or specs!  And having just had my annual visit to the opticians today (no prescription change, yeay) I thought this goofy little guy was rather appropriate.




As is my thing these days, I have opted for the "no-lines colouring" technique. Now, I won't go over how I do this yet again, instead here is a link to my previous post HERE 

This stamp is quite small and delicate and I felt dark stamped lines would have overpowered the image too much.  I also kept the background very subtle, opting for pale colours and using a squiggly/dot pattern so the main focus is on Mr Turtle whilst he tries to impress the hamburger with his awesome chat up lines!!!
