Beauty Session by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi there friends!  This week's challenge (#623) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog starts today.  The theme is:

PRETTY IN PINK

This theme is right up my alley because I love all shades of pink.  I chose the sweet Beauty Session image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  Here is my Design Team card:

I colored her with Copic markers and added some handmade flowers which I raised with 3-D foam for added dimension.  

You can find more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members here.  And, while there, why not join our challenge.  There are some lovely images up for grabs.

The theme for this week is:

A WINTERY PROJECT or

SHADES OF BLUE

I decided to go with the Shades of Blue theme for my card.  I chose the fabulous Tuxedo Always Works by TPS digital stamps.  I used this image once before but with different colours.  Here is my DT card:

I used Copic markers to colour this awesome image.  The flower is handmade, and is raised with 3-D foam.  I used a slimline die and sized it so that it would fit onto my A-6 card.

Artistic Leilani by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  This is my first Design Team card of the year for Conie Fong.  I love this gorgeous image and have used it once before.  It is called Artistic Leilani by Conie Fong.

I coloured this beauty with Copic markers.  The flower is handmade and the petals are raised with 3-D foam.  

This lovely image comes with 9 images (girl with long dress facing right and left, girl with short dress facing right and left, and 5 sentiments).  This image is also very versatile and can be used for many occasions.

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group which has some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, as well as other crafters who love Conie's beautiful images.

That's all from me today.  Until next time, Lori xx
