Butterfly Daisy by Conie Fong

Hi friends.  As we all know, October is The Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This month's theme on Conie Fong's Facebook challenge is AAG or

"Pink Colours with Ribbon".

I chose "Butterfly Daisy" by Conie Fong, found here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/772101414/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_31&crt=1

I absolutely adore this gorgeous image, and I've used it a number of times because it's so versatile.  It looks beautiful using any colour scheme.

I always use my favourite mediums to colour my images (Copics and Polychromos).  I forgot to apply clear Wink of Stella to her wings and the butterfly's wings but I did after taking the photo.  And, I added Nuvo Glitter drops to the centers of the flowers on the image.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.  I really appreciate it.  I wish you a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used

Cat Burglar Girl by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hey peeps!  I love October because it brings back such wonderful memories of my boys when they were young and could not wait to go Trick-or-Treating.  I also remember the fun I had making all of their Halloween costumes.  Those were the days! 

A new challenge has started on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog.  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I decided to use the darling "Cat Burglar Girl" image, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/230083045/digital-stamp-cat-burglar-girl-catwoman?ref=shop_home_active_2

The image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos.  I found the free background and the sentiment on the Internet.  The sentiment is raised with 3-D foam.  

I thought I would include the very first professional Halloween photo of my boys.  Adorable, aren't they?

Thank you for visiting.  I appreciate it.  Have a lovely day.  

Hugs, Lori xx
