Wow Zoe … someday I want to be like you!
This is fun, the advent calendar. I’m loving seeing all the creations you have made. Great Idea!
Stunning I love the eyes.
Your colouring never ceases to amaze and inspire me – another stunner – and am loving the colour blocked background too. The sweet string and bells are a beautiful finishing touch.
xXx
When I first saw this I thought the top was velvet material. I wish mine looked this good!!! So talented!!! 🙂
I love those big blue eyes and the way you colored her hair makes me want to cry its so awesome and I will never be there lol. Gorgeous card.
This looks great Zoe! I don’t think her eyes look scary at all. In fact, I think they are right in line with the wide-eyed manga look. I have not been brave enough to try the no-lines colouring yet, but it is on my to-do list!
This image is so wonderful. I absolutely love the colouring! xx
Lovey work.
What a CUTE!!! card. I love these types of stamps!!
Zoe, such a sweet image and the coloring is superb!
Super cute card
Can’t wait to try no lines myself but think I still need to practice with lines, I am new at this. Your work is awesome!!!
Hi, so beautiful! I love it!
Amazingly beautiful card and image. I keep thinking I need to try the blending card, but haven’t gotten the nerve to order yet.
I love her eyes. Actually everything about her. I can’t wait to try the no-line look. Thanks for suggesting it.
The no lines is definitely not a technique for all of us to try but looking at all the cards you are currently doing in this style really makes us (me) want to give it a go again!! Your card is as ALWAYS breathtakingly beautiful!
I love the way you colored this image. Your cards are ALWAYS breathtakingly beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful.
I love the way you did the hair. No lines…I will have to challenge myself.
ohhhh my word stunning work and your colouring is just amazing xxx
Wow what amazing colouring. Truly fabulous! X
I love this image, i have her in digi and your colouring is stunning Zoe!!

OMG! Zoe, you never cease to amaze me with your copic coloring skills! I love this no line look and the colors just make her pop! This card is AMAZING!

The face looks perfect to me. You just blow me awy with your colouring.
Your coloring is awesome…something I’m aspiring to as a relative beginner.
I love it!
Wow Zoe! So cool!! Love her hair! You always rock what you make Zoe and you inspire all of us!
TFS!!

Have a good week

hugs, Helena
WOW! I wish I could colour like that.
Zoe, she is beautiful! Your coloring with the ‘no lines’ technique is just awesome!! Thanks for sharing the card with us, your inspiration is always welcome!!
You always have the prettiest coloring…I strive to be half as good!
WOW…this is amazing..your colourig skills rock girl. Would love to try this paper you speak of…i’ve done the no lines once and not sure if i’ll do it again….hard work for sure but you have mastered if for sure…tfs
this is gorgeous Zoe, I love the vibrant colours, very pretty card
Hugs Julie P
She is gorgeous!!! Great coloring!!
Wow, Zoe! It’s hard to believe just looking at this one that it’s a 2-dimensional piece. It looks 3D or, at the very least, a computer rendering. Just incredible! I’m going to have to try the no-lines technique one of these days. It definitely has a different appearance than the lined ones. I don’t think her eyes are scary at all… she just looks excited and appropriately so! 🙂
What a piece of art, Zoe !
It is absolutely glorious!
After seeing all your fab work I feel like quiting ….LOL
Big Hugs, Candy
glorious eyes! TFS.
This is an adorable card. Your coloring is absolutely superb. I haven’t yet tried to coloring without the lines, but I love this effect. She looks so real.
I am finding your paper the best I’ve ever used too! I love it. I love your gorgeous coloring on this adorable image and card. It is awesome.
I think the eyes look fine, not scarry at all. In fact i think she’s fantastic!
Absolutely gorgeous! Just love your stamps and coloring.
Great card! Love the stamp and the coloring is very beautiful! You have great skills!
Wow! Your coloring reminds me of stop-action film of a doll that has photographed in different positions. It doesn’t look hand colored to me at all. Awesome.

Very pretty card.

Wishing you a merry Christmas
Beautiful job and coloring, especially the background.

it’s so cute! i love it!
Wow so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Have fun.
Such a fun image! love the simple look to the card that show off the joy in the girl.
You know we are our own worse critics. Her eyes aren’t scary, they look wide open. I just love the way that you have colored her. I am hoping to take a copic certification class or two next year. But I can tell from watching the certified people that we always strive to do even better. Thanks for this chance to win. It is fun. 🙂
Wow. I love the no lines look – like a painting! This image is so fun! Beautiful card!
Happy Holidays!
Angi@MakingMayhem
That is such a festive image! I really love the colors on your card!
Zoe, she looks fantastic! I love your colouring,I really need to give this ‘no lines’ colouring a go. Perhaps now that I am on holidays for a couple of weeks….I might get a chance. I love the colours you have used, the red on her top looks great.
Wow! I can’t imagine colouring with no lines! Wonderful.
Donna x
Wow, colouring without any lines??? I can never do it but thanks for sharing your tips and creation. It’s gorgeous!
