Great cards Jane. I keep forgetting about the "outside the die" cut that you used on your images. It is very appealing.

These are superb Jane, Great colouring and love the fresh look to them. I only have about 20 Copic as already had a full set of Pro's but will add to copic as I can afford them.
Called by from Mo's and decided to stay :o))

This is cute Jane. I was trying to guess what colors you used for the snowman. Trying to train the eyes. Thank you for sharing as I want to really use my copics more.
