Ice Cream Please

Evening all

Well that's my first week of nights out of the way and I have to say I have coped much better then I thought I would.  I have however, done something to my knee last night.  I only knelt on the floor and now it feels like I have a rubber band around it.  Hopefully it will clear out in a couple of days.


Anyway, tonight's card is a Birthday card for a young boy.  The digital stamp is called Ice Craem Hello from Sami Stamps and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.

White card stock
Patterned digital papers
