Rosealea Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends, and welcome to my post today.  This is the fourth card that I made using this gorgeous mermaid.  She is one of Conie Fong's recent releases.  This beauty is Conie Fong's Rosealea Mermaid.  

I almost never use digital paper but I decided to give it a go.  I used the PNG format of the image (which also is available in JPG format) and merged it onto the digi paper.  I colored Rosealea Mermaid with Copic markers.  Here is my DT card:

Candy Cane by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  For those of you who celebrated Independence Day, I hope you had a wonderful day.  It's hard to believe that July is upon us.  Time flies too fast!

It is always a good idea to start making Christmas cards early.  I learned that lesson years ago.  That said, here is my DT inspirational slimline card using Candy Cane by Conie Fong.  This is part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.

This fabulous image is coloured with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.  I added some Swarovski crystals on all the corners to balance the red colours.

If you have some time, why not visit Conie's Facebook group?  You will find some amazing inspiration, and she hosts a monthly challenge where you can win some adorable images.

Thanks so much for visiting.  It is very appreciated.  Until next time, Lori xx

Giselle by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

LAYER IT UP

This fabulous image is Giselle by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic markers, and I drew a very simple background for her.
