Playing with Copics

My Copic markers arrived yesterday and I couldnt wait to play. I had also downloaded some of the adorable Sugar Nellie digi's stamps from Funky Kits, so decided to try them out too.

After spending an hour colouring the very beautiful Verity, I made the mistake of putting a little bit of tape on the edge of the nestie to hold the image in place whilst I cut it out, and when I removed it I tore the bottom of the card. Can you spot the strategically placed orange swirl ?

The paper is K and Co, I chose these colours because its so dull outside lately and they brightened up my day.
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the flowers from stash.
I would like to enter this card into The Sugar Bowl challenge #51- this week its Kiki's sketch and the theme is Birthdays.
Also Stamp Something challenge as this week its Anything goes.
