Hi everyone. It's the start of the
CAS Christmas October challenge. This month is hosted by
Christine (It's a Card Day's Night) and she would like to see your CAS Christmas cards with ...
I just love this sweet image
Cozy Cupfuls (Power Poppy). This time I used Derwent Watercolour Pencils to colour my card. These pencils were passed down to me from my son, Jeremy. I use them very little, mostly for highlighting here and there, but today I had fun using them to colour everything. :)
