Iris Mermaid by Ching-Chou Kuik

Greetings friends!  Well, today is the last day of MerMay.  That said, I just had to create another mermaid card.  I found this beauty in my drawer of uncoloured images, so I decided it was time to colour her.  She is Iris Mermaid, a greyscale image, by Ching-Chou Kuik.  Here is my slimline card. 

I used Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour her.  The beautiful background paper is by Whimsy Stamps.

Wait for You by Ching-Chou Kuik

Greetings friends!  I love creating mermaid cards.  Since it's MerMay, I decided to use this gorgeous greyscale image called Wait for You by Ching-Chou Kuik.  In fact, I had printed out two copies a while ago. I coloured both of them but I never made a card with the second one until now.  This image is simply magical.

I coloured her with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  

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

Birds YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello lovely friends!  I hope all is going well.  Are you familiar with Conie Fong's new YouTube videos (Draw with Conie) where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw some really adorable images?  If not, you should check it out here.  Conie converted this sweet birds image into a digital image so that the design team members can colour it and show you how truly sweet this image is.

My DT card showcases one of those videos.

I coloured this adorable image with Copic markers, and I used a stencil to create the clouds.

Conie has two Facebook Groups.  One is called Draw with Conie.

The other is called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  You will find some wonderful inspiration on both groups.  

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

Rosealea Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends and welcome to my first post this month. As many of us know, today is the official start of MerMay.  That means that artists all over the world create a work depicting a mermaid.  It's a month long fest.  

I adore mermaids and so I chose to feature a gorgeous mermaid by Conie Fong called Rosealea Mermaid.  Actually, this is my third DT card using this stunning image.  It is available in JPG and PNG formats.  Plus, it comes with the mermaid facing right and left, and two sentiments.

I used Copic markers to colour her, and added a seashell clipart image behind her.  Then, I drew some bubbles for added interest.  I also added some dimensional stickers on the top and botton of the frame

For more wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members, and anyone else who joins her monthly Facebook challenge, please see here.

Thanks very much for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx

Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  Halloween is almost upon us and that always makes me smile because I have such cherished memories of my children wearing their Halloween costumes (which I made) when they were young.  They are adults now but I still send them Halloween cards and a special treat!  

I made this card some time ago and never posted it, so here it is.  It features the adorable Halloween Witch Kitty by Aurora Wings.

I used Copic markers to colour this super cute image.  The flower is handmade and also coloured with Copics.  The stamens were originally white but I coloured them with my trusty Copics.

That's all from me for this post.  Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Halloween always brings back some wonderful memories of my children when they would dress up in their costumes and go Trick-or-Treating around our neighbourhood.  What fun they had!  Of course, I would drive them to each house.  I also had a lot of fun making their costumes.  

The theme on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.

I chose the fabulous Happy Witches Brew by Digi Doodle Studios for my DT card.  I just had to draw a background for this cute witch.  

I used a combination of Copics and Polychromos to colour the image and background.  The cobwebs and the cute little black kitty are stamps that I have in my stash.  

I am really sad to inform you that Digi Doodle Studios will be closing its etsy shop at the end of this month.  So, hurry over and visit before they close their doors.  They will, however, continue to produce clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.

Thank you for visiting.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a lovely day, and take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx

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
