NEW RELEASE - BUGABOO STAMPS


One of this week's new releases in the Bugaboo Store is this cutie, one of the Skelekinz, "You Rock My World".

I used Copics to colour, and a white gel pen.

I also used digital dp, as well as well as two charms, one and guitar and the other a heart.

The sentiment is the one that comes with the image.
