Sorry for being such a rotten blogger, our internet went off on Tuesday night 

& didn't come back on til this morning! Just wanted to pop in to share a card

 I made using my new Copics........it's definitely a different experience in

 colouring but I have to say.............I love them! It's fun working out which

 colours blend best & the brush tips, wow, it's a joy to colour with them...I 

just need lots more practice.......and a few more pens lol! 

Rightio, off for a catch up of your lovely blogs.......thanks for calling today
