Day 21, #thedailymarker30day

Day 21, 

I'm not going to lie today was hard to pull off ,  Not enough sleep, and my grandson almost three, was in active overdrive! By the way I could hardly keep up with  my granddaughter also, she's 10 months old.  But I'm super proud of the work I did and that I got it posted on time. 

I'm showing this photo in progressions, I thought it would be fun to share how it worked out, I used Copic Markers to color the image and these cuties are a  digi from the Greeting Farm Stamps called cake topper kiss ,
