Cecilia by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  I hope you are well.  The theme for this week's new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is:

ADD A NUMBER

For my Design Team card, I chose the lovely Cecilia image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  Here is my card:


I coloured her with Copic markers, and I drew a simple background.  The number 9 was cut out with a Cricut machine.

Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong

Greetings friends, and welcome to my post today.  All my Christmas cards are finished.  I learned a long time ago to not wait for the last minute to make my cards.  I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases the delightfully sweet Candy Cane Boy Elf by Conie Fong.  This image comes with two other adorable elves in both JPG and PNG format (8 images in all).

This little guy is coloured with Copic markers.  I added some sparkly red ribbon and a clipart sentiment. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you will see some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members and other crafters as well.  Additionally, Conie has a YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you how to draw simple images.  Awesome, right?

Have a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Braids in My Hair by Conie Fong

Hi there friends!  I am such a fan of Conie Fong's  beautiful images.  That said, I am sharing my Design Team card which showcases Braids in My Hair by Conie Fong.  This is the third card that I made using this gorgeous image.  




I colored this lovely image with Copic markers and some FC Polychromos pencils.  Since it's fall where I live, I used fall colours this time.  Then, I chalked some areas of the slimline frame, and I added some handmade flowers. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you can find some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members as well as other crafters.  She also has a fabulous YouTube channel called Draw with Conie where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw simple images.

Thank you for stopping by, and hope to see you again soon.  Lori xx
