Flower and Ladybug YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello friends and welcome to my post.  Today, I am featuring the adorable Flower and Ladybug image by Conie Fong.  Conie teaches you how to draw this sweet image by following her wonderful YouTube video here.  Conie also has other fabulous images whereby she teaches you how to draw them.  How fun is that?

So that you can get a better idea of how versatile and cute this image is, Conie has converted it to JPG format for the Design Team members.  Here is my Design Team card:

I used my Copic markers to colour the image.  Remember to check out Conie's YouTube videos.  Conie also has two Facebook groups.  One group is called Draw with Conie.  If you draw any of Conie's images from her YouTube videos, you can post them here.

Conie also has another Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design.  This group showcases her etsy shop images which are coloured by the DT members and other crafters who love Conie's gorgeous images.

That's all from me today.  Lori xx

Bumble Becca by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends, and welcome to my post today.  Digi Doodle Studios' new challenge has started.  The theme is METAL and/or SPARKLE.  I love anything sparkly and so I chose to go with SPARKLE.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge.  

This darling image is one of the images from the new release.  She is called "Bumble Becca".  

The background is drawn by me, and I coloured her with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  I used black glitter cardstock for all the mats, and I applied clear Wink of Stella glitter to her wings. 

I am sad to inform you that DDS will be retiring their digital line but they will continue to produce their clear stamps on Ink n' Splatter.  Also, there is a retirement sale going on now until September 11.   

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx

Hi, dear peeps!  Here is my latest card created for Ching-Chou Kuik's Monthly Facebook Challenge.  The theme is "Grayscale Colouring with Optional Pop of One Colour.  You can still join as it runs until the end of the month.  I used the lovely "Two Ladybugs" image which comes as a set and can be found here:
