Dutch Pure Love by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello there, dear friends!  Welcome to my Design Team post for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme this week is:

ADD A HEART

I used the endearing Dutch Pure Love image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  

I colored this sweet image with Copic markers.  I added some handmade flowers and raised them with 3-D foam for added dimension.

Si Belle! by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi there, friends!  Today is Wednesday and so that means a brand new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#605).  This week's theme is:

HOLIDAY TIME

(Christmas, Easter or any vacation activity)

I have always wanted to visit Paris but have not to date.  In fact, I even have some cousins there.  Perhaps one day.  I can dream, right? I chose the lovely Si Belle! image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because her cute outfit reminded me of Paris, and the image also reminded me of how romantic Paris is.  Here is my Design Team slimline card.

I coloured that sweet image with my Copic markers, and I drew a very simple background. I added some gems to the foliage. 

You can find more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members here.  And, while there, why not join our challenge?  There are always some beautiful images to be won.

The Paper Shelter also has a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Group.  Check it out here.

That's all from me today.  Take care and have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Tricycle Gnome by Conie Fong

Hello friends, and Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are all doing well.  I love the fact that the days in my part of the world are getting longer.

Today, I am sharing my DT card which I made for Conie Fong's current Facebook challenge.  This adorable little gnome is Conie Fong's "Tricycle Gnome".  He comes in both the JPG and PNG formats.  What fun he's having!

I just had to draw a path for this cutie.  The scene and image are coloured with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  I applied clear Wink of Stella to the butterfly's wings and I also added two drops of Liquid Pearls (Buttercup) to the body.

I hope you join in the fun.  I wish you a lovely week, and I thank you for visiting.  Hugs, Lori xx

Koala Hugs by All Dressed Up Stamps

 Hello friends!  I was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for three months on the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.  That said, this is my third and final card.  It was so much fun to be part of that blog.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/768791864/koala-hugs

This adorable image was coloured with both Copics and Polychromos.  The leafy border was too long for the card so I cut it up so that it fits nicely on the slimline card.

Thank you for visiting.  It's very appreciated.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Babydoll by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Time for a brand new challenge on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog:  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

For my DT card, I chose the adorable "Babydoll" image by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps, found here in Vera's etsy shop:

I coloured this cute image with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  Then, I decided to draw the background.  At first, I was disappointed that I didn't plan my colours better (green dress, green bow, green tree, green grass). So much green!  But, ultimately, I decided that it looks fine.  LOL!
