Sharing a song...

Hello, a bit of time to play this week and a couple of cooler days so I made Christmas cards...as you do! I had previously coloured up this sweet Mo Manning image whilst sitting in the garden so I found a sketch I like and made it into a card. Image is coloured with markers, various left over papers from stash , a stamped sentiment and some TH foliage die cuts to finish. Another one done!

Sounds as if we're in for some hot weather this weekend, so take care, keep your cool and enjoy the sunshine.
