Butterfly Daisy Bundle by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  Hope you are well.  This summer has been rough for me because I had a total knee replacement on June 27.  The first two weeks were an absolute nightmare but I am now able to walk with a cane. 

This is the first card that I have made since my surgery.  This beautiful image is Butterfly Daisy by Conie Fong which I coloured with Copic markers.  I added some grass to the image, and clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a lovely sparkle.  Here is my Design Team card:  


Conie Fong has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design.  You will find some truly wonderful inspiration there by the Design Team members and other crafters.  

That's all from me today.  I wish you a wonderful day.  Until next time, Lori xx

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

Jezz and Kitt by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  I wish you and your loved ones a healthy and very Happy New Year.  I hope this year is better than the past two years.

Digi Doodle Studios' first challenge for this year started yesterday.  The theme is "Be Happy/Favorite Things".  I chose the delightful Jezz and Kitt image.  This image makes me happy because it includes a sweet kitty and a lovely fairy (two of my favourite things).  OK, kitties aren't things but they definitely occupy a special place in my heart.


I created a simple background for this darling image.  The mediums that I used are Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  I applied clear Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings.  The lovely papers are from Heartfelt Creations "Sugarspun Collection" paper pad.  I printed the sentiment right onto the cardstock.  I also used a tiny heart punch by Studio G and added the hearts to the top and bottom portions of the card.

There is also a Digi Doodle Studios challenge on Facebook.  We would love to see your creations on either the blog or FB (or both) so why not join in the fun?  

That's all from me today.  I wish you a great day.  Hugs, Lori xx
