                                                                        CAS cards because I don't like to see white space on
                                                                         my cards.  Just not my preference.)

Mushroom Snail YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Greetings, friends!  My DT card today features an adorable image, Mushroom Snail, which you can learn to draw by following Conie Fong's wonderful step by step tutorial on Draw with Conie YouTube video.  There are also other very sweet images that you can learn to draw on her YouTube channel.  Check it out here.


Conie converted this image into JPEG format for the DT members to colour so you can see how versatile and darling this image is.  I used Copic markers to colour the image.  The flower is handmade and also coloured with Copics.

If you get a chance to draw this image, you can then post it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Conie has a second Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  There you will find more fabulous inspiration by the other DT members as well as other crafters who love Conie Fong's beautiful images.
