1st Christmas card of the year

Good morning peeps I hope you are all well and not feeling the cold too much. Boy it´s bloomin freezing here, cold enough for fur lined knickers lol.  I am keeping cozy in my craft room and enjoying getting back into crafting at long last.


Today I have inked up "Willow with Lantern" and coloured her with my copics, such a pity she has lain here a few years without being used especially as she is so pretty and cute. I wonder who she´s looking for!


The papers are old ones too DCWV, Rose Tinted Christmas. Not a bad start to the New Year using up my old stash but method in my madness as there will be more room for the new stash I´ve just ordered. Sentiment was a freebie in a magazine and ribbon and pearls from Mei Flower.

What a gorgeous image Nicola and so beautifully coloured, lovely papers and design. Temperatures are dropping again this evening so I think this cold spell is going to last a while longer, keep warm.
