Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong

Greetings friends, and welcome to my post today.  All my Christmas cards are finished.  I learned a long time ago to not wait for the last minute to make my cards.  I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases the delightfully sweet Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong.  This image comes with two other adorable elves in both JPG and PNG format (8 images in all).

This little guy is coloured with Copic markers.  I added some sparkly red ribbon and a clipart sentiment. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you will see some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members and other crafters as well.  Additionally, Conie has a YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you how to draw simple images.  Awesome, right?

Have a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Braids in My Hair by Conie Fong

Hi there friends!  I am such a fan of Conie Fong's  beautiful images.  That said, I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases Braids in My Hair by Conie Fong.  This is the third card that I made using this gorgeous image.  

I colored this lovely image with Copic markers and some FC Polychromos pencils.  Since it's fall where I live, I used fall colours this time.  Then, I chalked some areas of the slimline frame, and I added some handmade flowers. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you can find some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members as well as other crafters.  She also has a fabulous YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw simple images.

Thank you for stopping by, and hope to see you again soon.  Lori xx

Lil Witches Halloween card 2 - Whimsy Stamps

Greetings friends!  I posted a Halloween card a few days ago and I am now posting a second card that I made with Whimsy Stamps pre-colored Quick Card Fronts called "Lil Witches".  This second card has the same design but, this time, I used another cute image and inked the edges of the frame with purple instead of aqua.  You can use these fabulous Quick Card Fronts as they are, or you can embellish them.

As before, I used a frame die and inked the edges with distress ink.  Next, I gently inked the edges with black ink to create a spattered effect.  The frame and the sentiment are matted on glitter paper.

That's all from me for this post.  Take care, Lori xx

Lil Witches Halloween card 1 - Whimsy Stamps

Greetings friends!  Halloween always evokes some special and cherished memories for me of when my kids were little and we went Trick-or-Treating.  They are adults now but that doesn't stop me from making a Halloween card for them. LOL

I decided to use an adorable pre-colored image by Whimsy Stamps called "Lil Witches" Quick Card Fronts.  There are quite a number of these fabulous quick card fronts that are available.  All you have to do is to embellish them, or just use them as they are.

I used a frame die and inked the edges with distress ink.  Then, I gently inked the sides with black ink to create a spattered effect.  I matted the frame and sentiment with black glitter paper.

That's all from me today.  Have a lovely weekend.  Lori xx

Another new challenge (#615) is starting today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is:  

SQUARES/CIRCLES

I made a card with this image some time ago using masculine colours.  I decided to make another card with this image called Retro Space Girl by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps using feminine colours.  I love this adorable image.  Here is my Design Team card:

This little cutie is coloured with Copic markers.  I added some enamel dots on the left side of the circle.
