Hanging around for Christmas....

I am working with Copics too, honest, but pencil is really my number one medium of choice, I've used them since I was a teenager (ie a long time, in fact a frighteningly long time!!) and working on Kraft card just makes the colours zing!!

 That said, I have just bought some fab new white card especially for my pencils which I will be testing out this week.

Remember Little Elf Mim by Mo Manning from a few posts ago, well here is her friend Pipa, unfortunately the poor gal lost her balance and ended up upside down, but hey, she's still smiling!


As before I've coloured her using Caran D'Ache Supracolor Soft (love these pencils, especially for the detail work) and Prismacolor on Kraft card.

More of Mo's amazing creations can be found HERE

Well, yours truly is off to test that cardstock, play with my Copics before they get testy with me through lack of use and grab a coffee (and sneak a biscuit sshh) - guess that's what they call "multi-tasking"

Happy Crafting

Lost her balance, I thought she had been sampling the spirits of Christmas.
Really love the results you are getting with the Kraft card.. and that's an understatement!

Looking forward to your test results.

For those of you who don't know Roo is my pet Westie and she's had an operation to remove a lump under her ear. She's currently sporting a very chic plastic cone - and a "what did you do this for Mum" expression!
She's doing OK Ros, and hopefully the cone can come off in a couple of days - for which my shins will be eternally grateful!
