Christmas every day!
Well it can be, if you're a papercrafter, can't it? I've been getting lots of xmas images ready to make up into lovely xmas cards - my favourite thing to make! And of course, any excuse to get a few more xmas stamps is always welcome...
I'm going to apologise in advance- I haven't got the exact Copic colours written down for each of my cards - Sorry!
These two Tilda's are about my favourite image for christmas - they're older stamps, but adorable. I also love the snowy fence background on this one. I've used the Copic Spica clear and the Sakura stardust pen to give a bit of sparkle on the snow and the swirls and snowflakes.
TTFN!

I've used the Copic Spica clear and the Sakura stardust pen to give a bit of sparkle on the snow and the swirls and snowflakes.PP is 'Tis the Season' by Bo-Bunny - just the most yummy palette of colours in this range and double sided (although this can be tricky to choose which side to use - so I had to buy quite a lot of this! LOL)
The edges are punched using the SU scallop border punch, and the Martha Stewart doily lace border punch.
I've made quite a few cards over the last few days - this Christmas Scrolls grey paper by Craft Creations is just scrumptious - I really love it. The ribbon is by SU - it's the taffetta Basic Gray reel, such good value and great quality.
Shapes cut with the Quickutz cookie cutter circles and scallop circle. 
Copics - I've used B91, B93, B95, B97, C1, C3, C5 for the clothing, I can't remember the skin/hair colours.
Tilda is sporting a glittery hat, courtesy of 'Glamour Dust' - just love this stuff!
I've really tried to get more contrast into my colouring recently, it definitely improves the finished result - what do you think? I looked back at a couple of images I coloured a while ago, and although I was really pleased with them at the time, I now think they're a bit bland. So at my next demo - guess what I'll be telling everyone!!
BTW, has anyone else noticed that the eyes on the more recent Tilda's are a lot bigger?
Sigh - the end of another chapter in my life - my youngest has started high school - here he is at the end of his first day of school!
TTFN!
The cards are beautiful, The colouring is fantastic, Hugs Sarah B X
