Creative Inspirations - May Challenge!

   Good Morning!
Today we have a brand new challenge starting over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS!

This month we're celebrating the King's Coronation and we've given you TWO themes to paly along with, so take you're pick!
The first one is a colour scheme of 'Red, White & Blue!' of course you can still use Hair/Skin tones and the colour black.
The second option to play along with is 'Royal!' So think of Kings/Queens, Crowns etc ... the decision is yours!
I decided to play along with the colour scheme option and used an old stamp that has only seen ink once or twice, however with the hat and umbrella I thought this chap looked distinctly British and was a good pairing for the colour scheme!

INGREDIENTS -
Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp
Matte Doodlebug Sprinkles
