The Fairy and the Flower by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Hope you are well.  It's hard to believe that it's been a little over two months since I had a total knee replacement surgery.  Time sure flies!

The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's theme this week is:

EMBOSSING

For my DT card, I used a lovely image called The Fairy and the Flower by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I coloured her with Copic markers, and I applied clear Wink of Stella (by Zig) to her wings.  The flowers are handmade.  Here is my card:

How to Draw Daisies You Tube Tutorial by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I made this card a couple of months ago before I had major surgery but I didn't have time to post it then.  Conie Fong has a You Tube video tutorial channel where she shows you how to draw this lovely image, along with some other fabulous simple images by her.

Conie converted this image to JPG format for the Design Team members so that they can colour it and show you how pretty and cheerful it is.  Here is my DT card: 


I used Copic markers to colour this lovely image.  The sentiment is computer generated.  If you would like to learn how to draw this image, you can then share it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Thanks for visiting.  Until next time, Lori xx

Butterfly Daisy Bundle by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  Hope you are well.  This summer has been rough for me because I had a total knee replacement on June 27.  The first two weeks were an absolute nightmare but I am now able to walk with a cane. 

This is the first card that I have made since my surgery.  This beautiful image is Butterfly Daisy by Conie Fong which I coloured with Copic markers.  I added some grass to the image, and clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a lovely sparkle.  Here is my Design Team card:  


Conie Fong has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design.  You will find some truly wonderful inspiration there by the Design Team members and other crafters.  

That's all from me today.  I wish you a wonderful day.  Until next time, Lori xx
