Newton Graduates by Newton's Nook Designs

Hi friends!  My older son graduates this Saturday with his second baccalaureate degree and so I created this card for him.  Needless to say, I am so proud of him!

Since he loves kitties, and he has a gorgeous yellow Maine Coon kitty, I decided to use the adorable Newton Graduates photopolymer stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs.

I coloured this cutie with Copic markers. I found the balloons clipart on the Internet, drew the strings, and added the year. Finally, I added a cute bow die cut, and voila!

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Until next time, Lori xx

Resources and Tools Used 

Balloons:      Clipart from the Internet

Numbers:      QuicKutz "Snow Angel" alphabet dies

Sentiment:    Computer generated 

Bow:             Amy Design "Christmas Bow"  (bow  only)

Koala Hugs by All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello friends!  I was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for three months on the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.  That said, this is my third and final card.  It was so much fun to be part of that blog.

Our sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps.  I am featuring the adorable "Koala Hugs" image, found here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/768791864/koala-hugs

This adorable image was coloured with both Copics and Polychromos.  The leafy border was too long for the card so I cut it up so that it fits nicely on the slimline card.

Thank you for visiting.  It's very appreciated.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Leafy Border:  Amy Design (Wild Animals 2) "Jungle Frame" die

Sentiment:      Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) mini shadowed sentiment "Thinking of You" die

Maisy Mouse by Conie Fong

 Hi peeps!  My Design Team card which features the delightful and super sweet "Maisy Mouse" by Conie Fong, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/985947816/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-maisy?ref=shop_home_active_5&crt=1

There are six separate images included with this stamp set, including Cory, a darling little boy mouse.

Could she be any cuter?  I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.  I love pink and purple (my favourite colours) so I coloured the flowers with both.  I also drew the little scene.  I added Swarovski crystals to the large purple butterfly and tiny pearls on the other butterflies.

I made this card for Conie Fong's monthly challenge on Facebook for completed projects.  Conie also has a colouring only challenge:

Why not join in the fun?  We would love to see your creations.

Thank you so much for visiting.  I wish you a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx
