Mo Manning Challenge #64

I wanted to make a card for a friend of ours who is about to undergo surgery.  He loves his motorbike so I had a hunt around for a bike image to use on his card... I came across this really cute image of a little boy on his trike by Mo Manning that I thought would be cool and the reckless looking little boy reminds me of our friend, or at least how I picture he would have been like when he was a little boy.




















I found the image was really hard to colour as it has so much detail!  I used the following copics...





































































I hope he likes it!  The inside reads:  "You'll be back on your bike in no time!"

I am going to enter this into the current challenge at Mo's Challenge Blog which is retro... The retro papers I used for this card are from October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket.
