FTL 43 - Using Dingbats as Your Image

I have been wanting to do a few things as of late:

a) Clean out some of my stash (can no longer justify buying new paper [save my latest SU! order...shh!]).

b) Work with some cleaner layouts.

c) Work with more digi images that I come across in my blurfing.

This card fit the bill on all three counts!

a) I used up some DCWV DP. Of course, I don't think I will ever whittle that collection down!

b) I used Natasha's FTL 43.
c) Finally, I used a dingbat font for my main image. Is it not the cutest?


Here's the free font location. I used it in Word (capital "Z" - check the character map for all the images) with a font size of 250 pt. I colored him in with Copics (watch your markers to prevent smudging of the printer ink) and then doodled in black gel pen to add some punch to all that color! TFL today!
