Birds YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello lovely friends!  I hope all is going well.  Are you familiar with Conie Fong's new YouTube videos (Draw with Conie) where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw some really adorable images?  If not, you should check it out here.  Conie converted this sweet birds image into a digital image so that the design team members can colour it and show you how truly sweet this image is.

My DT card showcases one of those videos.

I coloured this adorable image with Copic markers, and I used a stencil to create the clouds.

Conie has two Facebook Groups.  One is called Draw with Conie.

The other is called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  You will find some wonderful inspiration on both groups.  

That's all from me for today's post.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Resources and Tools Used  

Border:      Martha Stewart "Modern Garland" Around the Page punch

Snowy the Penguin Flying Kite by Conie Fong

Hi peeps!  I am sharing my clean and simple DT card today.  This style of card is out of the ordinary for me.  I sent it to my brother for Father's Day.  

The adorable image is "Snowy the Penguin Flying Kite", found here in Conie's etsy shop:

What an adorable and versatile image.  My card is for Conie's current Facebook Challenge. The theme this month is "Male/Fathers".  There is still time to join in the fun.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/ 

 I freehanded the hills and sponged the edges.  I made the sun by using a free clipart image and raised the circle with 3-D foam.  As usual, I coloured the image with Copic markers.

That's all from me today.  I wish you a happy weekend, and a wonderful Father's Day to all the fathers out there.  Hugs, Lori xx

This is the first time that I made a shabby/chic card and I really enjoyed making it.  I distressed the edges of the patterned paper at the top to achieve an old and weathered look. As always, I used a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour this fabulous image.  The iris is handmade.  Have a nice week.  Until next time.  xx
