The Bard's Clause

Greetings. Welcome to the Guild Hall. As the twelfth moon is now upon us, the Winter Festival is drawing closer. This always brings an influx of performers to the village taverns, hoping to capitalize on people’s merriment and generosity around the holiday season. The Lady Commander of Copics and I took in one such show last night and saw a bard at the Inked Cricut. This was unlike any normal bard as she was clad in a suit much resembling the one worn by the overweight slaver we had seen only a few days ago. We were immediately suspicious. Was she some sort of spy sent by the fat man? Were we discovered on our recon mission?

I started by stamping “Sasha” (who hasn’t had ink touch her since I bought her seven months ago) from The Greeting Farm’s Creeper Crew Collection onto watercolour paper and colouring her with Distress Markers and the fabled Hydra Brush. The sentiment was stamped from the Dylusions “Christmas Words” set. Some red thread and a stitching stamp finished off the front of this creation.

The inside sentiment is from the My Pink Stamper “Christmas Wishes” set.

I stamped the envelope with holly from the Tim Holtz “Christmas Memories” set.

I asked the bartender the name of the female bard and was surprised to learn it was “Mrs. Claus.” I thought I remember the slave driver’s name being Santa Claus... was this a coincidence? Or was something more sinister afoot?
