Glittery and Sparkling by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings friends!  April sure flew by!  Hope you are well.  Today begins a new challenge (#553) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  The theme for this week is

ADD SOME TEXTURE

I used the lovely Glittery and Sparkling image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I already created a card some time ago with this image and I coloured her hair with multiple colours.  This time, I decided to go with blonde.  For texture, I used a beautiful border die.  I also embossed the patterned paper with a crackle embossing folder but, unfortunately,  it doesn't seem to show up well.  Here is my DT card.

As always, I used Copics to colour her. I added some dimensional stickers which are the same colour as her hair.

For more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. If you join in the fun, you may win some beautiful images. So, check it out!

Thanks very much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Lori xx

Glittery and Sparkling by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, dear friends, and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog (#519) which starts today.  The theme this week is GOING DIGITAL.  How easy is that!  For my card, I chose the gorgeous Glittery and Sparkling image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I adore this image!

This beauty is coloured to Copics and polychromos.  The lovely rainbow is a free clipart image, which I thought complimented the image beautifully.  I stamped some sparkles around the rainbow for some added interest because, to me, it looked too bare without them.  

Remember to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see some amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members.  And, if you join in the fun, you may win some really fabulous images.

Thank you very much for visiting.  I really appreciate it.  Take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx

Eden Light Fairy by Digi Doodle Studios

Hi friends!  Digi Doodle Studios' current challenge is going on right now, and there's still time to join in the fun. The theme is FANTASY/LIGHT and SPRITE/BELIEVE in MAGIC.  For my GD card, I used the gorgeous Eden Light Fairy by Digi Doodle Studios Digital Stamps.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge. 

I coloured this beautiful image with Copics and Polychromos.  I used a cloud die and placed it on the top and bottom of the image for some added emphasis. The sun is a free clipart image which I fussy cut and added it to the rainbow.
