Gnome Surprise by Conie Fong

Happy Saturday!   Gnomes are regarded as symbols of good luck, and that is something we all need during these unprecedented times.   My DT card today features the darling "Gnome Surprise" by Conie Fong, found here in her etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/880719854/sale-digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_36 

This adorable little gnome comes with four other images, and in PNG and JPEG format.  I made this inspirational card for Conie's current challenge on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777

I coloured him with Copics and Polychromos.  The cupcake, sentiment and balloons images are free clipart images from the Internet.  I added 3-D foam under them for dimension.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Thank you for visiting.  Hugs, Lori xx

Hi friends, and welcome to my post today.  A new challenge starts today on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog:
http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I chose the gorgeous "80s in Tulips" image by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps because tulips are one of the first flowers that bloom in the spring (my favourite season) and also because they are such beautiful, popular and classic flowers.

This fabulous image can be found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/708381012/digital-stamp-80s-in-tulips-girl-digi?ref=shop_home_active_29

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this beauty.  I love to make my own flowers so the tulips are handmade.

Thank you so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Twinkle Angel Nellie by Conie Fong

 Hello friends.  I cannot help but to think of what winter storms Uri and Viola have done to Texas and southeastern U.S.  Plus, Uri has continued to wreak havoc all the way up to Maine.  What is happening to our country?  So devastating.  

On a brighter note, I am sharing my DT card which I created for Conie Fong's current Facebook challenge.

This darling image is "Twinkle Angel Nellie", found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/941215085/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_13

As always, I coloured her with my favourite mediums (Copics and  Polychromos).  The lovely flowers are from I Am Roses.  

I hope you stay safe.  Thank you for visiting.  It always brightens my day.  Hugs, Lori xx
