As you can see today's DT card is totally different to my usual style of card but I think I like it!
I have used Simon's super cute "Best Fishes" stamp & die set & as I enjoyed using Lindy's Stamp Gang's Mermaid Magicals powdered pigment stains last week I've used them again this week & coloured the little fish with them.

I am sharing a second card today which is a sweet Tilda card. I've used an older Tilda on this card along with various embellishments from my stash.
The gorgeous papers are by Maya Designs, the sentiment is by Cats Life Press, the stickpin is one that I have created & the cute teddy bear charm, the flowers were from my stash & of course Simon's pretty Leanna butterfly has made another appearance.
The copic colours I've used are -
skin - E11, E00, E000, R30, hair - E47, E44, E42, dress - BV01, BV00, BV000 / C3, C1, C00, bear - E43, E41, E40 / R21 / C3, C1, C00, boots W4, W2, W00.
That's me finished for today, thanks for stopping by
