Bee With Heart Bundle (boy) by Conie Fong

Hi friends, and welcome to my post today.  My design team card showcases one of the sweet little bees in Conie Fong's Bee With Heart Bundle.   This bundle comes with a boy bee and a girl bee, a flower and two sentiments.  I chose the sweet little boy bee.  The bundle is available in both JPG and PNG formats.

I made two cards some time ago using these bees but I had coloured them using black and yellow.  This time, I went with brown and yellow.  I used Copic markers to colour this cute image, and applied clear Wink of Stella to his wings.

Be sure to check out Conie Fong's Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group where you will find some wonderful inspiration by the other design team members, guest design team members and other crafters.

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

Bear with Heart YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  Have you seen Conie Fong's new YouTube videos where she teaches you how to draw, step by step, some adorable simple images?  Well, you are in for a treat!  See here. 

On this particular video, Conie teaches you how to draw an adorable Bear with Heart.  This cute image can be used for so many occasions.  Conie converted this image into a digital image so that the design team members could colour it and show you how really sweet this image is.  

I used my Copic markers to colour the image and I added the sentiment on the heart.  Here is my DT card:

There is a Facebook group called Draw with Conie where you can submit your drawings and colourings.  Imagine being able to draw these images yourself.  So cool!

Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you all again soon.  Hugs, Lori xx
