Hey sweetie! Sorry for being a stranger these days, I kind of reduced my computer and crafting time lately; I barely make a card now and then; still wanted to assure you I'm still alive and kiking (do you say this?:)) and just wondering if my card has arrived to you. It seems my hubby forgot about it in the car for a week or so but he sent it for a while, no idea when it should get to you. Just let me know:)
This is one gorgeous card; you know I love this image:) After coloring mine I compared a bit to yours and I saw quite a lot of difference between pencil and copics...I mean A LOT...lol. Just love your coloring, hope I could try this too later on when I have some more spare time. Looks quite elaborate.
Hugs, Iulia
PS Love your new pic:)
