Fairy with Bunny by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hello friends!  How are you today?  It's no secret that I love fairies so I chose the beautiful "Fairy with Bunny" image by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps as my DT inspiration for the new Lemon Shortbread Challenge which starts today.

 As always, I used my trusty Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to colour this lovely image.  The flowers are handmade and the petals are raised with 3-D foam.

There is also a Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps group on Facebook.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/lemonshortbread  

That's all for today.  Thank you for visiting; I always appreciate it.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Rosalie Pearl by Digi Doodle Studios

 Hi there, friends!  Hard to believe that it's already August, right?  Summer is passing by too quickly.  

Today, I am sharing my GD card which showcases the adorable "Rosalie Pearl" image by Digi Doodle Studios.  It can be found here:

https://digidoodlestudios.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/rosalie-pearl-digi-doodles-digi-stamp

I truly enjoy making slimline cards.  They are so easy to mail because they fit in a regular business envelope.  Very convenient!

I wanted to include a similar flower to the ones on the image so I found a free clipart template from Open Clipart on the Internet, copied it, coloured it and fussy cut it.  The tiny flowers are also handmade, and all the flowers are raised with 3-D foam.  As always, I coloured the image with Copics and Polychromos.

Digi Doodle Studios has a monthly blog challenge (theme:  Favourite Season/Time of Year) as well as a Facebook challenge.  Why not join in the fun?

Hat Bouquet Girl by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Good morning/afternoon!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog which starts today.  The theme is always "Anything Goes".  Easy, right?

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

I chose the beautiful "Hat Bouquet Girl" image by Lemon Shortbread which you can find in Vera's etsy shop here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/540875270/digital-stamp-hat-bouquet-girl-digi?ref=shop_home_active_77 

I drew the background, and the flowers are handmade. I wanted the flowers to have a bit of dimension so I added very tiny pieces of 3-D foam to all the petals.  Crazy and time consuming but I like the effect.  I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Butterfly Daisy by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I hope you had a happy weekend.  Is it really almost the end of July?  Time sure flies!  I decided to create a monochromatic card this time.  I used Conie Fong's stunning "Butterfly Daisy" image, found here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/772101414/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_76&crt=1

There are four more images included with this image.  As usual, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this lovely image.  The cherry blossom is handmade while the other flowers are by I Am Roses.  I applied clear Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings and the butterfly's wings.  

I made this DT card for Conie's current monthly Facebook challenge.  She also has a Colouring Only challenge.  We would love to see your creations.

Girl with Book by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  Hope you are doing well.  Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog has a new challenge which starts today.  The theme is always "Anything Goes".    http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

 I chose the beautiful "Girl with Book" image as my DT inspiration.  You can find it in Vera's etsy shop, along with so many other gorgeous images, here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/498632082/digital-stamp-girl-with-book-digi?ref=shop_home_active_101

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies and I remember coming across that wonderful quote by the English author, Neil Gaiman,  some time ago.  What a truly marvelous quote!

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this fabulous image.  As a background for the image, I thought it was a clever idea to use a die which looks like a bookmark.  I used the top portion of Spellbinders "Labels 11" dies to create the bookmark.

As always, I thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

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.
