  2. Marie, This is so very cute and the coloring is spot on. I love that little image. I am going to try to get to a card for this challenge tomorrow. It's been kind of a busy week for me, but I do need to get some more challenges in. I always look forward to seeing your beautiful creations. They always have to much life to them. Thank you for sharing.

  3. Another fine job with your Copics, Marie. But I really could have done without knowing that you are off to the ocean for a few days!

  5. I would love to be doing what this little guy is doing. The 60 degree weather is just weird! Still hopeful that winter is around the corner, but until then...I have your gorgeous card to admire.
    Have a fun and safe trip my friend!

  13. Marie the way you have blended those colors is amazing. Do you do large paintings too apart from cards? If you dont you should definitely take up painting you will surely create masterpieces.
    Cheers

  14. That's some awesome coloring Marie! Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comment. I'm finding out that Google Chrome is so much better than IE or Mozilla Fire Fox. If Blogger keeps making all these changes everyone will probably be forced to switch. It's just another internet program, about the same as IE and Fire Fox. It's free and you can download and install it without making it your primary internet. Then you can still use IE and Fire Fox if you choose.

    Your sky is stunning and looks so real with the gorgeous snow hills. Someday I hope to be just half as good as you are. Have a wonderful weekend! "Hugs"
