Conie Fong's New YouTube Videos

Hello dear friends!  I am excited to share some wonderful news with you today.  Conie Fong now has some fabulous YouTube videos which teach you how to draw simple images.  Isn't that awesome? 

My card today features Conie Fong's sweet little dog.  This little dog was turned into a digital stamp for the Design Team members to use so you can get an idea of how cute and versatile this little dog is when coloured and used to make a card.

Would you like to learn how to draw it?  If you do, check it out here.  And, Conie has some other amazing videos where you can learn to draw gift boxes, Santa, Christmas trees, a candy cane, and more videos to come.  See here.

If you enjoy watching these videos, won't you please subscribe, like and comment to her channel.  

Conie also has a new Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  You can share your drawings that you created by following her videos on this group.  

I coloured the little dog with Copic markers.  The bone with the sentiment is handmade.  I used a small heart die to make a template, printed the sentiment, and overlayed the template over the sentiment.  Finally, I fussy cut around the template...and voila... a bone! 

Thank you for visiting.  Stay well, and Happy Holidays to you and your families.

Westie Wooki Winter Pup by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Today, I am showcasing the truly darling "Westie Wooki Winter Pup" image by Digi Doodle Studios which you can find in Dina's etsy shop here: 

 https://digidoodlestudios.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/westie-wooki-winter-pup-digi-doodle-studios-digi-stamp

I seem to be making quite a number of slimline cards lately.  It's enjoyable to try something different.  Besides, they are very popular nowadays and I'm hooked!

This endearing image is coloured with Copic markers.  I coloured the background of the image so that it matches the background paper.  I added some glitter to the areas where there is snow, and added some tiny snowflakes around the entire front of the card.  I thought that the background paper from Heartfelt Creations was perfect for the image.  I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  Modest, aren't I?  LOL!

Digi Doodle Studios has a monthly blog challenge (theme this month:  Christmas in July) and a Facebook Challenge.  We'd love to see your creations.
