Panda Bundle by Conie Fong - card 3

Hi there friends!  I decided to colour up another one of Conie Fong's brand new images which is part of the Panda Bundle.  You can find it and five other images (in PNG format and JPG format) in her etsy shop here.  This is my second Design Team inspirational card that I made with this darling image.

I coloured this cute image with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  If you would like to see more inspiration by the other Design Team members, and other crafters who enjoy Conie's beautiful images, please see Conie's Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design here.

That's all from me today.  I wish you a lovely day.  Lori xx

Hello peeps!  I hope you are all doing well.  My DT inspirational card today showcases a gorgeous image by Conie Fong called Angel Whispers.  It is available in both PNG format and JPG format, and comes with two butterflies and 3 sentiments.

Glittery and Sparkling by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  April sure flew by!  Hope you are well.  Today begins a new challenge (#553) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme for this week is

ADD SOME TEXTURE

I used the lovely Glittery and Sparkling image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I already created a card some time ago with this image and I coloured her hair with multiple colours.  This time, I decided to go with blonde.  For texture, I used a beautiful border die.  I also embossed the patterned paper with a crackle embossing folder but, unfortunately,  it doesn't seem to show up well.  Here is my DT card.

As always, I used Copics to colour her. I added some dimensional stickers which are the same colour as her hair.

For more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. If you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images. So, check it out!

Thanks very much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Lori xx

Bee with Heart Bundle (Girl) by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  Welcome to today's post.  Conie Fong has some truly darling new releases (nine of them) in her etsy shop.  My DT card features one of them.  This delightfully sweet bee is the girl version of Conie's Bee with Heart Bundle.  The release includes an adorable boy bee, along with two sentiments and a flower.  Plus, it's available in PNG and JPG formats.

Is she not the sweetest?  I coloured her with Copic markers.  I like to add some shimmer whenever an image has wings so I applied some clear Wink of Stella.The card has a white base but it's hard to see here.

Remember to visit Conie's etsy shop to see all the truly beautiful images.  In addition, Conie has a Facebook group where she hosts a monthly challenge.  If you win, you may receive some adorable images.

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I always appreciate it.  Until next time, Lori xx

Bumble Becca by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends, and welcome to my post today.  Digi Doodle Studios' new challenge has started.  The theme is METAL and/or SPARKLE.  I love anything sparkly and so I chose to go with SPARKLE.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.  

This darling image is one of the images from the new release.  She is called "Bumble Becca".  

The background is drawn by me, and I coloured her with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  I used black glitter cardstock for all the mats, and I applied clear Wink of Stella glitter to her wings. 

I am sad to inform you that DDS will be retiring their digital line but they will continue to produce their clear stamps on Ink n' Splatter.  Also, there is a retirement sale going on now until September 11.   

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx

Daisy Elf by Aurora Wings

 Hi friends!  I decided to make a clean and simple card using the sweet "Daisy Elf" image by Aurora Wings.  I wanted to add some interest, so I used an embossing folder by Darice called "Scroll Flourish Corner".

This sweet little elf is coloured with Copic markers, as is the butterfly.  The lovely "Leanna Butterfly" die is by Memory Box.  I added glitter to the elf's wings and the butterflies' wings.

That's all from me today. Thank you for visiting. I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs, Lori  xx
