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.

 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

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
