The Saxophonist by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends and welcome to my post.  It's time for a new challenge (#597) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This time, the theme is:

SING A NEW SONG (or a musical instrument) 

This theme also includes instruments, and so I chose a fabulous image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps called The Saxophonist.  Here is my DT slimline card:

I coloured this awesome image with Copic markers.  I added three Swarvoski crystals to the G clef.  I bought the G clef die on ebay.  The sentiment is computer generated.

There is more amazing inspiration by the other design team members here.  If you have some time, why not join our challenge?  See here.  Up for grabs are some lovely images.

There is a Facebook group that you can visit called The Paper Shelter Fan Group.  That group has more wonderful inspiration.

That's all from me today.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Lion in a Car by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends!  I occasionally make cards for hospitalized kids.  It gives me joy to help brighten a child's life.  Conie Fong has some adorable images on her new YouTube channel where she teaches you how to draw simple images. How fun is that?  Lion in a Car is one of those fabulous videos.  

Conie also has this sweet Lion in a Car image in her etsy shop.  Here is my design team slimline card which will be included with the cards that I will make for children in hospitals.

I coloured the image with my Copic markers.  I added some enamel dots on the sides of the image.  

Conie also has a Facebook group called Draw with Conie, as well as another Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design.  

Remember to check out Conie's YouTube videos and her two Facebook groups here and here.

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a lovely week.  Hugs, Lori xx
