Spaghetti celebrations (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I've had this guy for the longest time but not got around to colouring him up until now. He's perfect for a masculine card isn't he? I ripped scrap papers and just glued them all down onto a scrap piece of paper then cut off the overhanging pieces, it's an easy but effective way to use up scraps (which is what I keep doing at the moment while I'm trying to get through my patterned paper stash). I wanted a little splash of colour so added in the red. You can find the Italian chef at The Paper Shelter.
