Happy Valentine's Day

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

I must admit that my husband & I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, however while looking after my nephews the other night, I coloured this image. I couldn't resist making a card for my DH.

Copics Used:
N2, N3, N4, N5, RV00, B00

Image Storage

I have stamped alot of images out onto cardstock ready for colouring but wanted something to store them in. So I found this tin at the local shop & thought it was perfect for what I wanted to achieve.

It was black & white checks but I wanted something 'pretty', so this is how it turned out:



And the inside:



I coloured the images with my favourite, Copic Markers.

Until next time
