A Lovely Friend card (Digistamp Boutique image)

I'm not sure how many elephants are a tan brown colour hehe but I thought he'd look cuter this colour, I think there's something about an artistic licence lol.

Bunnies just for you Mum (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Oh I just had to buy this gorgeous image for Mother's Day, aren't they just the cutest bunnies ever? I coloured them in originally and the "mum" was a very dull coloured bear so I went over her with my YR Copics and now she looks much cuter. It's amazing how the colours you choose can sometimes really change how a picture looks. You can find this sweet image at DigiStamp Boutique.

Forever in Love Valentine's Day card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I absolutely adore these little lovey dovey elephants from DigiStamp Boutique. I decided to get creative with the background after watching some Youtube videos so I created a fence, trees, sky etc with my Copics after colouring up the ellies (very scary as I thought I may waste all my efforts and then not be happy with the outcome but I surprised myself, I know elephants wouldn't usually be found in a farm style paddock but... hehe)
