This is my interpretation of Mandys sketch, I used the new

Skateboard Andy stamp from HERE..coloured with Promarkers from HERE 

I wanted it to be bright & fun with the K & Co Hopscotch DPs

..I love to use sparkle on me creations but this one would look a bit

odd with  DIAMONDS  on..BG buttons & sentiment is another

great Pinkgemdesign HERE they fit so well into  circle netsies..
