Hat Bouquet Girl by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Good morning/afternoon!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog which starts today.  The theme is always "Anything Goes".  Easy, right?

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I chose the beautiful "Hat Bouquet Girl" image by Lemon Shortbread which you can find in Vera's etsy shop here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/540875270/digital-stamp-hat-bouquet-girl-digi?ref=shop_home_active_77 

I drew the background, and the flowers are handmade. I wanted the flowers to have a bit of dimension so I added very tiny pieces of 3-D foam to all the petals.  Crazy and time consuming but I like the effect.  I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

 I chose the beautiful "Girl with Book" image as my DT inspiration.  You can find it in Vera's etsy shop, along with so many other gorgeous images, here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/498632082/digital-stamp-girl-with-book-digi?ref=shop_home_active_101

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies and I remember coming across that wonderful quote by the English author, Neil Gaiman,  some time ago.  What a truly marvelous quote!

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this fabulous image.  As a background for the image, I thought it was a clever idea to use a die which looks like a bookmark.  I used the top portion of Spellbinders "Labels 11" dies to create the bookmark.

As always, I thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Building Snowman by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Here I am again with my final Christmas card for 2020.  I made this card for the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog's last challenge for this year. 

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

This adorable image is "Building Snowman" by Lemon Shortbread, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/479419633/digital-stamp-winter-building-snowman?ref=shop_home_active_117&pro=1

This sweet image brings back such fond memories of when my sons and I used to build snowmen when they were little.  We used to live in upstate New York right off Lake Ontario, and we had so much lake effect snow. Such fun!

I drew the background and added white flocking powder to her ear muffs.  I coloured the image with my Copics and Polychromos.

I wish you a wonderful and happy New Year.  Hopefully, it will be better than 2020.  Hugs to you, Lori xx

Pine Branch:    Impression Obsession "Pine Branch" die 021N
Icicle Border:   Marianne Creatables "Snowy Icicles" die LR0392

Winter Fairy by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  Christmas is fast approaching, and this year the celebrations will be so different for many of us.  

My DT card today features the gorgeous "Winter Fairy" image by Lemon Shortbread, found in Vera's etsy shop here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/482072615/digital-stamp-winter-fairy-digi-fantasy?ref=shop_home_active_113 

I created this card for the new challenge which commences today on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog:

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/  

I drew a snowy background for her. I decided to apply white flocking powder to her hat and to the trim on her jacket.  I also added clear Wink of Stella to her wings. She's coloured with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  The poinsettia is hand made.

I hope you are either finished with your Christmas shopping or nearly done.  Thank you for stopping by, and I hope to see you again.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
