Hello Te4ddy Bo!

So I've been playing again and today I have one of the new Teddy Bo images that are from the July bundle. I have coloured him with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens, the back ground is made with my Aqua markers and my Art Liner stamps and pens for the "Hello"

Isn't it sooooo cute!
