DCM little extra - Cartoons

Check out Lythan's fab idea for the Little Extra challenge this week at

Daring Cardmakers
We'd like you to have a go at making a cartoon inspired card! You could use the colours and patterns (eg Minnie Mouse's dress would mean a black, white and red spotty card; Winnie the Pooh red and um, honey coloured) or symbolic (eg using an anchor inspired by Popeye).

Well I decided to go all Australian this week,

and celebrate our own little cheeky bloke of the Bush,

Blinky Bill, with his gorgeous little sweetheart Nutsy.... apparently some of my fellow DCMers haven't heard of Blinky :O how is that possible.... LOL!!!

I loved Blinky Bill as a child reading my big brothers book (oh that's just a little tease for my brother... did you like that one Wazza...lol!!!)

Anyway the years have passed and now low and behold Blinky is on the Telly..

who would have thought...

ok...here's the copywrite stuff..

The postcard I have used is from

The Australian Children's Classic Postcard Book by Angus & Robertson

and the original artwork is by Dorothy Wall

other bits I've used are Heidi Swapp 'cherish' stamp, ribbon, chatterbox PP, Basic Grey PP, the applique gumnut is my own thingy, Mini marks rub-on, Sticko Alpha sticker and ofcourse my sewing machine...

So have you Dared to DARE yet?...come on I dare you!!!!

My kids are on school holidays for this week and next... tis lovely :O)
