Cute Dressmaker by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hey there, friends!  Is September really almost over?  Times surely flies!  The new challenge (#527) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog starts today.  This week, the theme is BUTTONS and/or BOWS.

I chose the darling Cute Dressmaker image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  Instead of using real buttons, I decided to use part of a sticker frame set that I bought at Walmart many, many years ago!  LOL  I used some 3-D foam to raise it for some depth.

As always, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this delightful image.  And, I used silver paper for the blades of the scissors.

If you would like to see more wonderful inspiration by the other DT, see here.  While you are there, why don't you join us?  There are some fabulous prizes to be won.  


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


Resources and Tools Used 

Buttons border:  Sticker set from Walmart

Fairy Elida by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Hello peeps!  Hope you are well.  Today, I am sharing my second DT card for the DDS challenge using the lovely Fairy Elida image by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps.  The theme for this month is METAL / SPARKLE.  I chose the latter.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge here.  Here is my card:  

I decided to use an adorable image by Dreamstime called Mushroom House for the background.  This sweet little fairy is coloured with Copic markers.  The cute butterflies around her are by Your Next Stamp "Spring Smiles" clear stamps.

For sparkle, I used pink glitter paper, and I applied clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a lovely shimmer.  

Sadly, Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps will be closing at the end of October but they will continue to produce clear stamps and papers on Ink n' Splatter.  So, hurry and visit the shop before they close.

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Resources and Tools Used 

Mushroom House:  Dreamstime
Butterflies:              Your Next Stamp "Spring Smiles" clear stamps

Flutterby Daisy by Conie Fong

Hello, dear friends!  I am so happy that the temperatures have cooled a bit in my neck of the woods, and I hope it stays that way.  Having said that, I decided to use autumn colours on my Design Team card.  This gorgeous little lady is Flutterby Daisy by Conie Fong.  She is one of my favourite images.


I coloured her with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils, and I drew the background for her. 

Conie has a monthly challenge on Facebook.  If you have some time, why not join in the fun?  There are some beautiful images to be won.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day.  Take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx

Sentiment:  Computer generated and back with Spellbinders "Fancy Tags 2" dies.  I cut the tag and just                          used the ends.

Bumble Becca by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends, and welcome to my post today.  Digi Doodle Studios' new challenge has started.  The theme is METAL and/or SPARKLE.  I love anything sparkly and so I chose to go with SPARKLE.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.  

This darling image is one of the images from the new release.  She is called "Bumble Becca".  

The background is drawn by me, and I coloured her with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  I used black glitter cardstock for all the mats, and I applied clear Wink of Stella glitter to her wings. 

I am sad to inform you that DDS will be retiring their digital line but they will continue to produce their clear stamps on Ink n' Splatter.  Also, there is a retirement sale going on now until September 11.   

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx
