Copic Colour Challenge 9

I must be feeling unwell - two cards in a day *Shock Horror!*
Over at the Copic Colour Challenge Blog the colours this week are...


So I dug out these colours, and stared at them for a loooooooooooong time. I took the lids off and drew three lines on a piece of white card and stared again! Then I decided to get one of the Tilda images out that my friend Donna stamped for me for me to have a play with before I bought any more... Sooooo... Here's the card.



Tilda with Ladybug (she is soooooooooooooooo CUTE!!)
Stamped using Memento Ink
Coloured with Copic Ciao's (of course)
Sentiment from my WoJ General Sentiments
Eyelet, flowers, ribbon and brad from stash

Back to card making, Gorjuss girl...

Having had a third cycle of chemotherapy on Monday I really did not think I'd have the time, patience or the stability in my hands to make a card due to the side effects, nevermind having a 7 and a half month old to look after. But I have, and here she is!


Gorjuss Girl - Foxy - from FunkyKits

Coloured using Copics Ciao Pens

Coloured card from my stash
Papers - unknown - have a feeling they may be Papermania or Dovecraft
Paper flowers from Papermania coloured using Copics, brad from stash.
Silver sentiment from Lakeland crafts
