Relaxing Bubbles by House Mouse Designs

 Hello everybody!  I needed a masculine birthday card and so I found a stamped image in a drawer where I keep coloured and stamped images.  I thought it would be perfect. 

This cute image is "Relaxing Bubbles" by House Mouse Designs and I believe it is a rubber mounted stamp. This adorable image reminded me of how much I enjoy taking a bath every now and then, especially in the fall and winter months.

When I moved here three years ago, I left a few boxes unpacked and it might be in one of those boxes.  I tried to find it on the House Mouse store, without success.  It may have been discontinued.  Sorry about that.

As always, I used my Copic markers to colour this adorable image.

I wish my American friends a happy July 4th.  Stay safe, enjoy your weekend, and hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx

Father's Day card

 Hi friends!  Thought I would post a slimline Father's Day card which I made for my brother.  I coloured up this cute robot some time ago, and I cannot remember who the artist is, nor the name of the image.  Sorry about that. 

Sometimes, I enjoy using Scrabble tiles for sentiments, and that worked out beautifully for this card.  I found the free tiles on Clipartkey:   https://www.clipartkey.com/search/scrabble/

I fussy cut the tiles and inked the edges.  The corner die is from Cheery Lynn.  I cut it twice for added dimension.

Take good care of yourselves, and enjoy your day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Snowy the Penguin-Snowy Birthday Presents by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend thus far.  It is rather cool here, and it's dark with intermittent rain.  Wonder if it's due to the sand storm.  On a brighter note, I am sharing my second masculine card this month.

This is my inspirational card, as a Design Team member, for Conie Fong's current Facebook challenge (theme: Male/Fathers).  There is still time to enter:

This delightful image is "Snowy the Penguin-Snowy Birthday Presents", found here:

I coloured the image with Copic markers and  Polychromos pencils.  I drew the wooden floor.  The candle is a free black and white clip art image which I coloured with Copics and added 3-D foam to give it dimension.  I also added glitter to the flame.

I wish you all a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used 

Border:        Marianne Creatables "Christmas Stars" die LR0134

Candle:        Free clip art from the Internet

Stars:           Punches

Sentiment:  Cannot remember, but it's a digital image

Magic mesh, glitter and ribbon are from my stash.
