Dragon Bouquet by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  I am sharing my Design Team card showcasing one of Conie Fong's adorable images called "Dragon Bouquet".  This is the second card that I have made with this cute and versatile image. 


I used Copic markers to colour this image, and I drew the background.  There is more wonderful inspiration by the other DT members, as well as other crafters who enjoy colouring Conie Fong's images, on her Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.

That's all from me for this post.  Have a happy day.  Lori xx
