  7. Good morning Coops,
    I love your card, beautifully coloured, it must have been a tear-jerker of a book she looks quite sad, maybe it's my diary she's reading lol.
    Have a great day :o)

  13. I know Exactly what you mean with the faf card. Your colouring on your images always stands out on your cards! Fab copies as ever! What set of copies do you use for the skin? I currently use coral saffron and ivory but I am finding ivory too pale any suggestions?
