Party Pups by Digi Doodle Studios

Hi friends!  My Guest Designer card today features the truly adorable "Party Pups" image by Digi Doodle Studios.  Digi Doodle Studios has both a monthly blog challenge and a monthly Facebook challenge.  Both challenges end next week so you better hurry if you want to join in the fun.

 


I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image, and just Copics to colour the candles.  I found the freebie candle clipart on the Internet.  I fussy cut them and then added glitter to the flames.  After I coloured the balloons, I added the shine on them with my Posca pen.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope to see you again.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Dragon Bouquet by Conie Fong

Hi there, friends!  Conie Fong's monthly Facebook challenge is going on right now.  I have always loved dragons and so I chose this cute "Dragon Bouquet" image by Conie Fong for my DT card.  It's available in both JPG and PNG formats.  Since I coloured her pink, that makes her a little girl dragon, right?  LOL 



This cutie is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I enjoy creating backgrounds and so I drew this background.  Hope she likes it! I chalked the edges of the butterflies and added Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink) to their bodies.

I wish you a happy weekend.  Until next time, hugs, Lori xx

Corner:        Tutti Designs "Butterfly Corner" die

Nap in a Cup by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, lovely friends!  Last week, The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog reached its 500th challenge.  What an achievement, right?  That said, welcome to this week's challenge (#501).  The theme is "One for the Boys".  I chose the adorable "Nap in a Cup" image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  What a versatile image!

I coloured the image with Copic markers.  I used the unused portion of my slimline die, rather than the actual die cut.  I thought that was pretty clever...LOL
