Girl with Book by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  Hope you are doing well.  Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog has a new challenge which starts today.  The theme is always "Anything Goes".    http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

 I chose the beautiful "Girl with Book" image as my DT inspiration.  You can find it in Vera's etsy shop, along with so many other gorgeous images, here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/498632082/digital-stamp-girl-with-book-digi?ref=shop_home_active_101

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies and I remember coming across that wonderful quote by the English author, Neil Gaiman,  some time ago.  What a truly marvelous quote!

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this fabulous image.  As a background for the image, I thought it was a clever idea to use a die which looks like a bookmark.  I used the top portion of Spellbinders "Labels 11" dies to create the bookmark.

As always, I thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Gnome Gift by Conie Fong

 Hey there, friends!  I hope you are all doing well.  Today, I am sharing my slimline card, as DT for Conie Fong, which I created for her monthly Facebook challenge. See here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/?multi_permalinks=1779920055516493

I used one gnome ("Gnome Gift"  #3) from Conie's Christmas gnomes bundle, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/880719854/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_43

I love these cute mythical creatures, especially Conie's gnomes.

Slimline cards are all the craze now.  At first, I really did not like them very much but they are starting to grow on me.  LOL  They fit into a regular #10 business envelope.  How convenient is that, right?

I coloured this darling little guy with Copics and Polychromos.    

Thank you for visiting, and hope to see you again.  I always appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Gnome Gift by Conie Fong

 

Hi friends!  Happy St. Patrick's Day to those of you who observe it.  I love all mythical creatures and so I decided to make a card using another one of Conie Fong's darling gnomes.  This sweet little guy is "Gnome Gift", and can be found here, along with some other little gnomes:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/880719854/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_36                                                               

This card is similar to my previous card which has another gnome by Conie, and I plan to send them to my sons whose birthdays are in April.

The balloons, sentiment and the cupcake are free clipart images from the Internet.  I used Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour this super sweet image.  

Conie has her current Facebook challenge going on now.  Why not join in the fun?  https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you again.  Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
