Good evening all.not as late as i thought, still nothad our tea yet though.lol.
so on to my card for tonight, now i really had to resist the urge to colour another saturated canary image but i have a feeling you`ll see another one tomorrow :D
i have been asked if i can do another video tut on how i colour hair etc, i will try and attempt another one  but it probably won`t be till after christmas cos next week is when i have my mouth surgery :(
i was also asked which card i use for colouring with my promarkers.i use the rymans smooth bright white coated card.love it as its on offer a lot of the time and i use it for digital images and stamped.

Hi ya, looks to me like you are on top form right now - another stunning card. Such a cute image and you've given it wonderful depth. Looks like the little mice could walk out of the image. Great colour combo as well.

PS, Try not to worry too much about the surgery, easier said than done I know - but it won't help dwelling on it. (Oh dear, look I'm sounding like my mother!)
