Coco Bear & Tilda In Cotton Dress

Good morning lovely peeps,

I thought it was high time I sorted myself out & properly got back into the swing of blogging & creating as hubby thankfully continues to make good a good recovery after his stroke & is needing only a little care now, so I'm having a bit of a catch up day today, not only with my blog but Splitcoast Stampers & squeezing in a coffee or two with my friend Ali as I can't even remember the last time I managed to find time for a good old girlie catch up :)

Before I share my card please accept my apologies for the rubbish pictures! This little card was a commissioned card & I had to grab it back just as it was about to be whisked off out the door never to be seem by me again & I'd forgotten to photograph it! I didn't even think about lighting it was a case "here is your card", "umm can I have it back please" click, click with the camera and "there you go here is your card again" lol.

 I love making cards for little ones & have inked up & coloured an adorable Magnolia bear called "Coco with present" from the Merry Little Christmas 2012 collection for this card.

The copic colours I've used are -

E55, E53, E51 / C3, C1, C00 / RV63, RV10, RV00

 The papers I've used are from a Forever Friends paper pad, and the lovely XOXOXO border die & the hearts on the inside of the card are from gorgeous Simon Says Stamps 2014 Valentine release.

 I'm entering my card in the following challenges -

 I have another card to share which I created especially for a Simon Says Stamp Store Blog feature.

 It's not often I sit back & think "I'm happy with that card", yes I know we are all our worst critics lol, but I actually did think that with this card :)

 The copic colours I've used are -

skin - E11, E00, E000, R20, hair - E44, E43, E41, dress - BV08, BV04, BV02, BV00, crown - YR24, YR21, YR20
