Chimney Sweep

Last Saturday I posted a card that my great nephew made for his Dad.  His Dad is a chimney sweep, a job he loves, so I thought I'd make him a chimney sweep themed birthday card.  I remember seeing a Little Claire Designs chimney sweep rubber stamp a few years ago, which would have been perfect, but I don't think Little Claire Designs are trading anymore and I couldn't find a chimney sweep stamp or digi stamp anywhere online.  Eventually I came up with the idea of finding a free children's colouring page online, which I resized and printed onto white card.
The image was coloured with Promarkers and layered on a green mat.  The patterned papers are from Anna Marie Designs.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Passion for Promarkers - Week 500 ~ Make it Square
The Male Room Challenge #114 ~  Multiple Layers
