Happy by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  This week is the start of our Summer Break Challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  It is a four week break, and both Design Teams will be participating.  You can still enter this challenge but we will not be commenting so that we can spend some of our summer vacation with our families.

The theme is an easy one:  ANYTHING GOES

I chose the delightful Happy image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  As usual, I used Copic markers to colour her.  I also drew a little background scene for her. 

To see the inspiration by both of the Design Teams, be sure to check it out here. And, if you have some time, why not enter the challenge?  There are some wonderful images to be won.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy and safe summer.   Take good care of yourselves.  See you in four weeks.  Hugs, Lori xx

Rosealea Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends, and welcome to my post today.  This is the fourth card that I made using this gorgeous mermaid.  She is one of Conie Fong's recent releases.  This beauty is Conie Fong's Rosealea Mermaid.  

I almost never use digital paper but I decided to give it a go.  I used the PNG format of the image (which also is available in JPG format) and merged it onto the digi paper.  I colored Rosealea Mermaid with Copic markers.  Here is my DT card:

Conie  hosts a monthly challenge on Facebook.  If you join in the fun, there are some beautiful images to be won.  So, what are you waiting for?  LOL

Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you again soon.  Until next time, Lori xx

Candy Cane by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  For those of you who celebrated Independence Day, I hope you had a wonderful day.  It's hard to believe that July is upon us.  Time flies too fast!

It is always a good idea to start making Christmas cards early.  I learned that lesson years ago.  That said, here is my DT inspirational slimline card using Candy Cane by Conie Fong.  This is part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.

This fabulous image is coloured with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.  I added some Swarovski crystals on all the corners to balance the red colours.

If you have some time, why not visit Conie's Facebook group?  You will find some amazing inspiration, and she hosts a monthly challenge where you can win some adorable images.

Thanks so much for visiting.  It is very appreciated.  Until next time, Lori xx

Giselle by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Is it really July already?  Where does the time go?  It's time for a new challenge (#561) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is:

LAYER IT UP

This fabulous image is Giselle by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic markers, and I drew a very simple background for her.  

On the base of the card, I used a slimline die and added the the floral patterned paper.  On top of that, I added the blue frame and the  checkered paper and, finally, I added the sentiment.  So, that makes four layers.

Check out more inspiration by the other Design Team members here.  If you have time, why not join our challenge?  There are some wonderful prizes to be won.  And, TPS has a group on Facebook.

Thank you for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx
