Fairy of the Cookies by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  Welcome to my DT post for this week's challenge (#509) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  Our challenge this week is to create a birthday card.  I chose the darling "Fairy of the Cookies" by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I love fairies and I love cookies and so this was the perfect choice for my card.


The simple scene is drawn by me, and I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this adorable image.  I applied Wink of Stella (clear) to her wings for a lovely shimmer. The whisk is a clipart freebie which I found on the Internet.  I fussy cut it, added some floss and a couple of small flowers to it.  The flowers are handmade.

Remember to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog for more wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members.  And, while you are there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous prizes to be won.


Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you all again soon.  In the meantime, I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Sending Joy by Your Next Stamp

 Hello dear friends!  I decided to make a second Christmas card for the Spring Into Christmas 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party.  This time I used the super adorable Sending Joy image by Your Next Stamp



As always, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this darling image.  I made a nearly identical card some time ago using a different image so I didn't have to worry about coming up with a new design.  There is still time to join in the fun.  See here:

Peaceful Easter by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  It will soon be Easter and so I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases a gorgeous image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps called "Peaceful Easter".  The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge (#507) begins today, and the theme is EASTER TIME.  Such a beautiful time of the year!


As always, I coloured this lovely image with my favourite mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  I wanted to create a restful environment for this cutie and her sweet bunny, so I drew the background.  I printed the flourish by PNG Wing on the top of the image and added some handmade flowers.
