Arabian Spell by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  The Design Team members for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog have been on their summer break for a number of weeks now and it's time to start the challenges once again.  Team B's break ended last week and now it's Team A's turn (#565).  The theme is:

ADD A SENTIMENT 

I am showcasing the lovely Arabian Spell by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I generally make slimline cards but I decided to make an A-6 card this time.  

I coloured the image with my Copic markers.  I wanted to create a shimmer for her chiffon skirt so I added clear Wink of Stella.  I also added Wink of Stella to her bracelets and jewels.  Finally, I added some dimensional stickers for some shine around the card.

Thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog where you will see some wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members.  Also, when you are there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous images to be won.  

Take good care of yourselves, and I hope to see you again soon.  Lori xx

Ballerina Kitty

Hi there, peeps!

Well, another rainy day here. The theme at Aurora Wings Challenge Blog this month is a wonderful one ("Inspired by Music").  https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/  As we all know, the power of music is remarkable in so many ways.  

I decided to use Aurora Wings'  gorgeous "Ballerina Kitty" because, as a little girl, I always wanted to take ballet lessons.  Unfortunately, it didn't happen but there's not a day that goes by that I don't listen to music.  This delightful image makes me think of Tchaikovsky's beautiful ballet "Swan Lake".   It can be found here:

I made my own piano template.  I love to make piano shaped cards and so I've used this template a number of times.  The black keys are raised with 3-D dots.  It's tedious work but I am pleased with the results. Here is a close-up of the sweet image:

When the card is opened, you can see the piano shape:

She is coloured with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  The corner die cut is made with Crafter's Companion's "Lace Corner" die.  The tiny leaves are made with Cheery Lynn Designs' "Flourish Leaf Strip" die.   My flowers are handmade.  Ribbon and Swarovski crystals are from my stash. I'm am going to enter this card on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog as well.  http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/ 

Have a lovely day!  Lori P xx
