Flamingo YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hi friends! I cannot believe that April is almost gone. I wanted to post this card before next month. Conie Fong has a wonderful YouTube video whereby she teaches you how to draw this adorable flamingo. See here: Conie converted this image to JPG format so that you can see how truly fabulous and versatile this image is. Here is my Design Team card:

I decided to use a clipart background.  I fussy cut the flamingo and place it over this awesome background.  The flamingo is coloured with Copic markers.

Conie has quite a number of simple images that you can learn to draw by following her wonderful, step by step, tutorials.  See here.  If you draw one of Conie's images, then you can post it on her Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Conie also has another Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where the DT members and other crafters post their cards using Conie's images from her etsy shop.

Have a lovely day, Lori xx

Bella Benji Fairy Bundle by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends!  Welcome to my DT post today.  I used the darling Bella image from the Bella Benji Bundle by Conie Fong.  I just love these sweet little bears.  In fact, I love teddy bears of all kinds.  This bundle comes six images (Bella and Benji facing right and left, and two sentiments), and is one of six new releases.


I wanted to ground her, so I drew a leaf for her.  I coloured her and the leaf with Copics.  Then, I applied clear Wing of Stella to her wings for a lovely shimmer. Finally, I used chalk to create the clouds.

Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Greetings friends!  Welcome to my DT post today for Digi Doodle Studios.  Halloween always evokes such warm and wonderful memories for me.  My kids and I very much enjoyed decorating the inside of our house, as well as the outside, for this fun holiday.  My sons loved wearing their costumes to school, and taking part in the parade outside the school while proud parents watched them.  Then, we would go Trick-or-Treating after dinner while their dad waited for other Trick-or Treaters to visit our house.

This sweet image is Buffy n Friends by Digi Doodle Studios.  I drew the background except for the haunted house.  Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image and background.


Digi Doodle Studios has both a challenge blog and a Facebook challenge.  The Theme this month is CREEPY CUTE / SPOOKY / BELIEVE IN MAGIC.  

This will be my last post for Digi Doodle Studios because they are shutting down at the end of this month.  Why not visit their etsy shop before they close their doors?  DDS will, however, continue to create adorable clear stamps, dies and more on Ink n' Splatter.  

That's all from me today.  I thank you for visiting, and I with you a wonderful 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

Autumn Enchantment by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Welcome to my DT post today.  The theme for The Paper Shelter's new challenge this week is AUTUMN COLOURS.  I love to see the trees dressed in their carnival colours, and their leaves dancing in the sky before they fall to the ground.  I also enjoy the cooler air and the wonderful earthy aroma.  So peaceful.  What a beautiful season!
