Well it's almost time for the big man to arrive - the presents are wrapped, the in-laws have descended and the kids are so excited you'd think they'd been fed nothing but sugar for dinner. But despite all the mayhem I've been able to sneak in a bit of crafty time for this week's Colour Q palette:
I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches but replaced the circle with a big bloom from Doodlebug Designs, coloured with Copics. I really think colouring with Copics should be prescribed as an alternative therapy for stress...there's something about it that I find so relaxing - or perhaps that was the glass of white wine I had at the same time.
The good news is that we're going to have a little break for a couple of weeks at Colour Q, so you have until Monday January 5th to have a play with the colours.
Unless a Christmas miracle happens and I'm able to make a card in the next 24 hours, this will be my last post for a few days. Hope you have a wonderful, happy and safe Christmas - may your stockings be choc full of crafty goodness!
Cheers,
