Christmas Glitter Shoujo by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Challenge #153 starts today on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge blog.  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

For this challenge, I chose the gorgeous "Christmas Glitter Shoujo" image which you can find in Vera's etsy shop (along with so many beautiful images) here:

I cut the border twice to make a nice frame for the image which is coloured with my favourite mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  The pretty background paper is from Heartfelt Creations' Merry and Bright paper pad. 

I hope you will join in the fun.  We would love to see your creations.  In the meantime, take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx 


Materials and Tool Used 

Border:       Joy Crafts "Ornate Edge" die  6002/0357

Koala Hugs by All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello friends!  I was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for three months on the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.  That said, this is my third and final card.  It was so much fun to be part of that blog.

Our sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps.  I am featuring the adorable "Koala Hugs" image, found here:

This adorable image was coloured with both Copics and Polychromos.  The leafy border was too long for the card so I cut it up so that it fits nicely on the slimline card.

Thank you for visiting.  It's very appreciated.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx


Materials and Tools Used 

Leafy Border:  Amy Design (Wild Animals 2) "Jungle Frame" die
Sentiment:      Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) mini shadowed sentiment "Thinking of You" die

Rosalie Pearl by Digi Doodle Studios

 Hi there, friends!  Hard to believe that it's already August, right?  Summer is passing by too quickly.  

Today, I am sharing my GD card which showcases the adorable "Rosalie Pearl" image by Digi Doodle Studios.  It can be found here:

https://digidoodlestudios.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/rosalie-pearl-digi-doodles-digi-stamp




I truly enjoy making slimline cards.  They are so easy to mail because they fit in a regular business envelope.  Very convenient!

I wanted to include a similar flower to the ones on the image so I found a free clipart template from Open Clipart on the Internet, copied it, coloured it and fussy cut it.  The tiny flowers are also handmade, and all the flowers are raised with 3-D foam.  As always, I coloured the image with Copics and Polychromos.

Digi Doodle Studios has a monthly blog challenge (theme:  Favourite Season/Time of Year) as well as a Facebook challenge.  Why not join in the fun? 
 
Thank you for visiting.  I truly appreciate it.  I hope to see you again.  Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
