CLOSE YOUR EYES....

Morning all.......

Oooh the weather looks rather nasty here today...grey skies and me thinks we will have lots and lots of rain...so I think the best place for me to hide is in my wee room...lol...!

So onto my card....and today I have used one of my new Lili of the Valley stamps I bought at Ally Pally at the weekend...and I so love this sweet couple...! I have used some gorgeous Prima Papers, Memory Box swirl die and again a rolled flower and my wee butterflies too...
 
Ooh I nearly forgot to say...I LOVE Copic pens...! This was my first time using them and OMG..I need them all...lol...!!

And here are the sweet couple..

Beautiful! So I'm guessing Copics are worth the money. Would love to hear what you think is the best colouring medium as you seem to have used Spectrum Noir, Promarkers and Copics now.

Love the flourish die you have used and the colour scheme. Stunning xx
