Candy Cane by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  For those of you who celebrated Independence Day, I hope you had a wonderful day.  It's hard to believe that July is upon us.  Time flies too fast!

It is always a good idea to start making Christmas cards early.  I learned that lesson years ago.  That said, here is my DT inspirational slimline card using Candy Cane by Conie Fong.  This is part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.

This fabulous image is coloured with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also part of Conie's Santa Gnome Gift and Sentiment Bundle.  I added some Swarovski crystals on all the corners to balance the red colours.

If you have some time, why not visit Conie's Facebook group?  You will find some amazing inspiration, and she hosts a monthly challenge where you can win some adorable images.

Thanks so much for visiting.  It is very appreciated.  Until next time, Lori xx

Molly Cutie by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  I hope you've done all your Christmas shopping, or close to it.  I'm all set and even mailed my Christmas and Hanukkah cards this past Tuesday.  I feel so accomplished!  LOL  

My DT inspirational slimline card showcases the darling Molly Cutie image by Conie Fong.  This image comes with a second image which has some minor differences, and it just as sweet.

As always, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image, and  I drew a simple background for this cutie. The sentiment is computer generated.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  Have a lovely weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

About Christmas No. 1 by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps

Hello  dear friends.  I hope you are making progress on your Christmas shopping.  Last month, I won a Guest Designer spot for this month on the Rabisco Challenge Blog.  I was given a choice of three images and I chose "About Christmas No. 1 by Mirtillamente Digital Stamps".  Here is my card:

There are six images included with this digital stamp and I selected three of them.  They are coloured with Copic markers and FB Polychromos pencils.  I used the fabulous fabulous "Slimline Connected Rectangles" die by Whimsy Stamps.  I used glittered paper to cut it out.  I love this die!  The sentiment is computer generated.

That's all from me today.  Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx
