Pixie by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hey there, friends!  Summer began in my neck of the woods yesterday.  I have to say that summer is my least favourite season.  Too hot and humid, and way too many bugs.  However, I do love that the days are longer.

Challenge #517 starts today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is THINGS WITH WINGS.  What a versatile theme, right?  I chose the darling Pixie image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  She is so very sweet!

This card is smaller than the standard slimline cards.  It measures 3.5" x 6.25.  I followed an awesome video tutorial by Karen Aicken.  Her video shows you how to use 6" x 6" papers to create mini slimline cards.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FPXyyvWzig  

Here is a side view:  

This cutie is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I applied Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink) to the butterflies' bodies, and Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings.

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other Design Team members, see here.  And, if you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images.

Thank you for visiting.  It always brightens my day.  Hugs, Lori xx

The Sweet Gardener by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Time for a new challenge (#515) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week, the theme is FLOWER POWER.  I chose the adorable "The Sweet Gardener" image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps for my DT card.

This little lady looks like she's going to have a lovely time picking flowers.  I drew the background, and coloured the image with Copic markers.  The flowers are handmade.  Finally, I applied Liquid Pearls (Buttercup) on the butterflies' bodies.

Remember to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog for more wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members.  And, why not join in the fun while you are there?  As always, up for grabs are some awesome prizes.

Thank you for stopping by, and hope to see you all again soon.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Alisaie Elf Maiden by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello dear friends!  It's my turn to post my Guest Designer card today.  This gorgeous image is "Alisaie Elf Maiden" by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps.  There is a new challenge going on now on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog which started on April 1.  The theme is EASTER/SPRING.

I coloured this beautiful girl and the butterfly with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I applied Wink of Stella (clear) to her wings and to the butterfly for a lovely shimmer.  I also applied Liquid Pearls (Buttercup) to the butterfly's body. 

Well, that's all for today.   Remember to check out the lovely creations by the Design Team members on the Digi Doodle Challenge Blog.  And, there's also a Facebook DDS Challenge.  Thank you so much for visiting.  Have a great day.  Hugs, Lori xx
