Paper Smooches Designer Drafts Challenge

Here's another challenge card for you. I've been dying to use my new Paper Smooches stamp set Zoo Crew. Thankfully a friend of mine pointed me to the Drafting challenge at the Paper Smooches Sparks blog this week which is a card sketch.
A simple sketch and so many possibilities! Since the alligator is my very favorite animal in the set I had to use him first. I paired him with some American Crafts Soho Garden paper. I had to stamp some of the leaves on the newsprint paper and then color them in. I masked off the eyes, tooth, spots and stomach on the little gator and spritzed Mr Huey's leaf green. The rest was colored in with a mix of Copic markers and Spectrum Noir markers.
