Flamingo YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hi friends! I cannot believe that April is almost gone. I wanted to post this card before next month. Conie Fong has a wonderful YouTube video whereby she teaches you how to draw this adorable flamingo. See here: Conie converted this image to JPG format so that you can see how truly fabulous and versatile this image is. Here is my Design Team card:

I decided to use a clipart background.  I fussy cut the flamingo and place it over this awesome background.  The flamingo is coloured with Copic markers.

Conie has quite a number of simple images that you can learn to draw by following her wonderful, step by step, tutorials.  See here.  If you draw one of Conie's images, then you can post it on her Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Conie also has another Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where the DT members and other crafters post their cards using Conie's images from her etsy shop.

Have a lovely day, Lori xx

Pineapple by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends, and welcome to my post today.  Today starts the new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme is:

THAT SPECIAL LADY  

I chose the fabulous Pineapple image from The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps for my Design Team card.

I used my trusty Copic markers to colour the image.  I inked the edges of the frame, and I added some enamel dots at the bottom of the card.

Be sure to check out the other lovely cards made by the other DT members on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  And, while there, why not join our challenge?  There are some wonderful images to be won.

The Paper Shelter also has a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Club.  See here.

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