Bellarific Friday- Wiz!

Hey peeps! How's it going?

Today's Bellarific Friday was a sketch....

I used the fantastic Mo Manning image "Wiz"- it was fab to colour!! Wiz was coloured with copics and I added some highlights with a white gel pen. Papers are Fancy Pants. Sentiment comes with Wiz. I added a few sequins- can you have sequins on a male card without it looking girly?! I think it looks OK, er.....I think!!!!

Here is your close up!

This was your sketch for this week. 

Next week's challenge is VALENTINES!! 

As it's the first Friday of the month the DT will be using the "stamp of the month"! Can you guess which one it will be?!!!!
