Great expectations


Just when you thought you'd seen and heard everything....here is the newest contestant for the Christmas talent show, with his take on the Little Drummer Boy.  This is a new image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps, titled One Man Stu and his Magic Kazoo.  I just couldn't resist making it into a Christmas card, and I know who will be the recipient too!

It's always nice to colour an image and know beforehand which DP you will use.  It sure helps shorten the project time!  Copics are the medium again today and the DP is from the Basic Grey Nordic Holiday collection.  The sentiment is also from Dr Digi, and I've coloured and fussy cut it out.  Just a few sparkly snow flakes as embellishments as this will have to go in the post.

Enjoy your summer days while they are here, as Christmas and the cold weather is not that far off!
