Cartoon crazy little extra

You're showing us some wonderful cards this week - it's amazing how just a couple of beads or sequins can really "lift" a card. We are really enjoying seeing all these wonderful Beady cards and of course there's still time to make loads more! We hope you'll enjoy having a bit of fun with Lythan's fab idea for the Little Extra challenge this week:

We'd like you to have a go at making a cartoon inspired card! You could use the colours and patterns (eg Minnie Mouse's dress would mean a black, white and red spotty card; Winnie the Pooh red and um, honey coloured) or symbolic (eg using an anchor inspired by Popeye).

Please take care not to infringe the copyright rules - you might need to think a bit more laterally with this one.
As usual we have some Design Team cards to help get you thinking.

Come and leave us a message when you're done and we'll hot-foot it over to see your cartoon creations.
