The story behind the card.
I made Jim Harker the artist at La Pashe a Christmas card and when he opened it he said that he must get around to writing his cards out, So I stamped my feet and said "I expect nothing but a hand sketched card" well, it just wouldn't do to have a shop bought one from and artist would it?
When Jim made the card for me as he passed it to me he said " I thought you might like to make a digi stamp from it to make your own cards and add some colour" So although I had made my last Christmas card (or at least I thought I had) this image was just screaming for me to add some colour.
So here it is, coloured with Promarkers and made into an Easel Card.
I hope I did him proud.
