How true!

Hi Everyone,
How true is that sentiment!!
I made this card for the Totally Papercrafts challenge which is humour.
The image is from Bugaboo and coloured with Tria markers.  I have only just started using them and haven't got the hang of shading yet but I love the vibrancy of the colours in comparison to watercolours.
Everything else is from my stash.
Thanks for looking
