Angel Whispers by Conie Fong

Hello peeps!  I hope you are all doing well.  My DT inspirational card today showcases a gorgeous image by Conie Fong called Angel Whispers.  It is available in both PNG format and JPG format, and comes with two butterflies and 3 sentiments.  

I coloured this beauty with Copic markers, and applied clear Wink of Stella to her wings. I inked the embossing folder and added a few tiny flowers.

Conie hosts a monthly challenge on Facebook. If you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images.

That's all from me today. Happy 4th of July to my American friends. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend. Lori xx

Sitting Pretty on a Mushroom by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends, and welcome to today's post.  It's Fairy Day over on Conie Fong's Facebook group and the DTs have created some beautiful fairy cards.  I used the darling Sitting Pretty on a Mushroom image by Conie Fong.  Here is my DT card:


As always, I coloured this sweetie with Copic markers.  I applied clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a pretty shimmer, and I also added some 3-D stickers on the frame.  I generally gravitate toward bold/bright colours but there are times that a prefer softer colours, like the background on this card.
