The Music Practice by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Today, a new challenge begins on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is a wonderful one:  

SPRING COLOURS 

Spring is my favourite season because both of my awesome sons were born in the spring.  And, since spring is the season when the world revives after the cold winter months, I very much look forward to spring.

I chose the darling image called The Music Practice by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because it reminded me of how much I enjoy listening to the little birds singing outside my window.

I coloured this little lady with Copic markers.  The flowers are handmade and also coloured with Copic markers.  I added 3-D foam under the petals of each flower to add some dimension and some enamel dots to the centers.

If you would like more inspiration by the other design team members, please see here.  If you join our challenge, you may win some lovely images.  

Also, there is a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Group for even more inspiration.

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

Birds YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello lovely friends!  I hope all is going well.  Are you familiar with Conie Fong's new YouTube videos (Draw with Conie) where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw some really adorable images?  If not, you should check it out here.  Conie converted this sweet birds image into a digital image so that the design team members can colour it and show you how truly sweet this image is.

My DT card showcases one of those videos.

I coloured this adorable image with Copic markers, and I used a stencil to create the clouds.

Conie has two Facebook Groups.  One is called Draw with Conie.

The other is called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  You will find some wonderful inspiration on both groups.  

That's all from me for today's post.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
