Otter Couple Anniversary Card

Greetings friends!  I made this sweet anniversary card for my niece and nephew whose anniversary is next week.  Sometimes I enjoy making a card without colouring the image, so I found this super cute image on etsy by SVG Vector Store.  You can find this clipart here.


That's all from me today.  Take care, Lori xx

Twinkle Emily by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  It's hard to believe that June is almost gone, right?  I am sharing my latest Design Team card which showcases a sweet image called Twinkle Emily by Conie Fong.  You can find her in Conie's etsy shop here.  You get five PNG images with this bundle (Emily facing right and left with hat, Emily facing right and left without hat, and one sentiment).  


I used Copic markers to colour her, and I drew a little step stool for her.  I also stamped the stars around her, and added some pearls at the top of the frame.  

If you wish to see more fabulous inspiration by the other DT members, and other crafters, please visit Conie's Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.

Stay well, and I wish you a lovely day.  Lori xx

Conie Fong has a wonderful YouTube video whereby she teaches you how to draw this adorable flamingo. See here: Conie converted this image to JPG format so that you can see how truly fabulous and versatile this image is. Here is my Design Team card:
