Prize is 3 images!

We were given the digital stamp Are You Ready My Friend? which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending Card. I have cut a frame around my image with my paper cutter, followed by colouring with the following Copics:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
• red - R32, R35, R37, R39
• black - C5, C7, C9

• background - BV0000, BV000, BV00
• outline - BV02
• sentiment - BV02, purple Wink of Stella

I have adhered the coloured image on to a white card from Envelope Solutions. 
The sentiment is from Hollyberries from the wonderful Marcella at Power Poppy.

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes.
