Conie Fong's New YouTube Videos

Hello dear friends!  I am excited to share some wonderful news with you today.  Conie Fong now has some fabulous YouTube videos which teach you how to draw simple images.  Isn't that awesome? 

My card today features Conie Fong's sweet little dog.  This little dog was turned into a digital stamp for the Design Team members to use so you can get an idea of how cute and versatile this little dog is when coloured and used to make a card.

Would you like to learn how to draw it?  If you do, check it out here.  And, Conie has some other amazing videos where you can learn to draw gift boxes, Santa, Christmas trees, a candy cane, and more videos to come.  See here.

If you enjoy watching these videos, won't you please subscribe, like and comment to her channel.  

Conie also has a new Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  You can share your drawings that you created by following her videos on this group.  

I coloured the little dog with Copic markers.  The bone with the sentiment is handmade.  I used a small heart die to make a template, printed the sentiment, and overlayed the template over the sentiment.  Finally, I fussy cut around the template...and voila... a bone! 

Thank you for visiting.  Stay well, and Happy Holidays to you and your families.

Santa Gnome Gift and SentimentBundle by Conie Fong

Greetings friends, and welcome to my post today.  It is so hard to believe that it is already December.  I always start making my Christmas cards in August, and I am happy to say that they are all finished and ready to be mailed.

For my DT card, I chose the adorable Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle by Conie Fong. It is available in both JPG format and PNG format.

I coloured this cute image mostly with FC Polychromos pencils because it is quite small.  If you visit Conie's Facebook group, you will see some fabulous inspiration.

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
