Cat Family Bundle by Conie Fong

Happy Saturday, friends.  As you probably know, kitties have a special space in my heart.  I was thrilled when Conie Fong created this darling bundle called Cat Family.  The bundle comes with and without a heart.  Since I already made a card without the heart, today's card features this sweet family with the heart.   Here is my design team card:  

I have coloured this image with Copic markers.  You can learn how to draw this adorable image by following Conie Fong's new YouTube videos here.  There are also quite a number of other amazing videos by Conie on her YouTube channel.  If you decide to draw this image, you can then share it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

I drew a simple background for her, and coloured her with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.

Kimono Kayuki by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I am back today to share my 2nd DT inspirational card  made for Conie Fong's monthly Facebook challenge.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

  The theme is "Use Glitter or Sparkle on Your Creation".  Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I love glitter and sparkle.

This darling image is "Kimono Kayuki", found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/731290619/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_12&pro=1

I used glittered cardstock for the one of the frames, behind the sentiment and for the photo corners.  The border at the top is sparkly, as is the gold embroidery floss on the lantern.  To make the lantern, I copied the patterned paper and enlarged one of the lanterns, fussy cut it and added 3-D foam squares for dimension.  I also added a lovely Swarovski crystal at the top of the lantern for added sparkle. 

Enjoy your weekend!  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used

Photo corners:   Fiskars punch

Border:  Glitter on a Roll (purchased at Michael's Arts and Crafts)

Angel Wishes by Conie Fong

Hello, crafty friends!  This month's Facebook theme over at Conie Fong's Art and Design Group is "Always Anything Goes" with an option of  "Anything But a Card". 
  https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

This is my DT inspirational project:

I started off with the cute wooden box that houses Brie cheese by President:

I coated the entire box with gesso.  Then, I painted it with purple acrylic paint.  Finally, I applied Mod Podge (matte finish) all over it to seal it.

I used the darling "Angel Wishes" image by Conie Fong, found here in her etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/665388540/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-angel?ref=shop_home_active_8

I coloured this beautiful image with Copics and FC Polychromos pencils.  I glued the patterned paper, the image and the frames onto the box and applied Mod Podge over them. 

I wanted the lace (which was white) to match so I dyed it purple with Glimmer Mist, and glued it around the box.  I lined the insides of the box (top and bottom) with white felt. Lastly, I added the flowers and other embellishments and, voila, my finished box!

Here are some other views:

  

I had so much fun creating this altered box.  Hope you have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx 

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:     Spellbinders "Label 18" dies
