The Most Adorable Cavalier by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings to all!  Time for another new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is:

FEATHERS OR FUR

What an awesome theme!  I have chosen fur, and my Design Team card showcases The Most Adorable Cavalier image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.

I coloured this cutie with Copic markers and a bit of FC Polychromos pencils.  

For more inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  TPS also has a group on Facebook called The Paper Shelter Fan Group.

If you join our challenge, may win some wonderful images by TPS.

That's all from me for this post.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx

Conie Fong's New YouTube Videos

Hello dear friends!  I am excited to share some wonderful news with you today.  Conie Fong now has some fabulous YouTube videos which teach you how to draw simple images.  Isn't that awesome? 

My card today features Conie Fong's sweet little dog.  This little dog was turned into a digital stamp for the Design Team members to use so you can get an idea of how cute and versatile this little dog is when coloured and used to make a card.

Would you like to learn how to draw it?  If you do, check it out here.  And, Conie has some other amazing videos where you can learn to draw gift boxes, Santa, Christmas trees, a candy cane, and more videos to come.  See here.

If you enjoy watching these videos, won't you please subscribe, like and comment to her channel.  

Conie also has a new Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  You can share your drawings that you created by following her videos on this group.  

I coloured the little dog with Copic markers.  The bone with the sentiment is handmade.  I used a small heart die to make a template, printed the sentiment, and overlayed the template over the sentiment.  Finally, I fussy cut around the template...and voila... a bone! 

Thank you for visiting.  Stay well, and Happy Holidays to you and your families.
