I think we can all remember back to a time when we idolized our parents, most of us still do, and we wanted to grow up to be JUST like them. I mean, what girl HASN’T put on their mom’s shoes, and what boy hasn’t worn Dad’s tie? Just in time for Mother and Father’s Day, Torico has illustrated the CUTEST dress up set I have EVER seen!!
When I Grow Up is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 15 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

I LOVED coloring this sweet little boy, in his daddy's shoes, shirt, and tie. What a super cute image for Father's Day!! I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored him with Copic markers. I really wanted to keep his shirt white, so I just added some E30 around the outside edges of the shirt to make it stand out more from the white cardstock behind him. The papers are A Boy's Life from Echo Park and of course, I added some zigzag stitching in a few spots on the edges of the panels.
