A Cat's Life by Last Minute Manda

Hello, dear friends!  I am thrilled to be the Guest Designer for this month on the CCC Digi Creations Challenge Blog.  The sponsor is Last Minute Manda.   You can find so many sweet and endearing images on Last Minute Manda.

Kitties occupy a  special place in my heart, and so I decided to use a darling image from the "It's a Cat's Life" digital stamp set.  This is my card:

This image is so darned cute!  I drew the little table and coloured the image with my favourite mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  There is a Last Minute Manda group on Facebook.  

I wish you a happy day and wonderful weekend.  Thank you for visiting.  Hugs, Lori xx

Message in the Bottle by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hi there, peeps!  I hope you had a pleasant weekend.  The weather here has been truly dismal.  It would be so nice to see the sun.  I am sharing my final DT card (an easel card) for this month which showcases the lovely "Message in the Bottle" image by Ching-Chou Kuik.  You can find it, along with 9 other beautiful mermaids, here:

I made this card for Ching-Chou's monthly Facebook challenge. The theme is Celebrations.

The card base is made by using a free fish bowl clip art image.  I've coloured this lovely image, and the koi, with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  The little flower is handmade.  I wish you a happy week.  Until next time, Lori P xx
