Nap in a Cup by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, lovely friends!  Last week, The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog reached its 500th challenge.  What an achievement, right?  That said, welcome to this week's challenge (#501).  The theme is "One for the Boys".  I chose the adorable "Nap in a Cup" image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  What a versatile image!

I coloured the image with Copic markers.  I used the unused portion of my slimline die, rather than the actual die cut.  I thought that was pretty clever...LOL 

Don't forget to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog for more wonderful inspiration by the rest of the other Design Team members.  You won't be disappointed.  And, while there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous prizes to be won.

I wish you a happy day, and I thank you for stopping by.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Slimline Die:  Gina Maria Designs "Scalloped Stitched" dies

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
