 For my card I have used the gorgeous Pink Gem Designs digital stamp

Andy with Guitar

I coloured him with Copics and used digital papers from Pink Gem Designs

Lemon Drizzle and Merry and Bright Collections to create the background.

The star and musical notes are cut with my Silhouette Portrait but there are die cuts out there from (from Joy! Crafts for the Musical notes)  which will just as good a job.

The sentiment was created on my computer.

...and here we have him - Andy with his guitar - Rockin'!
