Little Blossom (older version) by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  Welcome to my post today.  I am sharing my slimline DT card which I made for Conie Fong's current monthly Facebook Challenge.

This adorable image is "Little Blossom" by Conie Fong.  It is an older version.  The new version comes with and without a background and she has a different hairstyle. This lovely image can be found in Conie's etsy shop here:

Rosalie Pearl by Digi Doodle Studios

 Hi there, friends!  Hard to believe that it's already August, right?  Summer is passing by too quickly.  

Today, I am sharing my GD card which showcases the adorable "Rosalie Pearl" image by Digi Doodle Studios.  It can be found here:

https://digidoodlestudios.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/rosalie-pearl-digi-doodles-digi-stamp

I truly enjoy making slimline cards.  They are so easy to mail because they fit in a regular business envelope.  Very convenient!

I wanted to include a similar flower to the ones on the image so I found a free clipart template from Open Clipart on the Internet, copied it, coloured it and fussy cut it.  The tiny flowers are also handmade, and all the flowers are raised with 3-D foam.  As always, I coloured the image with Copics and Polychromos.

Digi Doodle Studios has a monthly blog challenge (theme:  Favourite Season/Time of Year) as well as a Facebook challenge.  Why not join in the fun?
