Bluebird by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

 Hello friends!  Are you ready for Christmas?  I am good to go.  It's snowing right now so it's already beginning to look like a winter wonderland.  Perfect!

Thanks so much for visiting.  I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, and a healthy and Happy New Year.  Hugs, Lori xx

Bunny Hearts - Girl by Conie Fong

 Hi friends!  My Design Team card today features the delightful Bunny Hearts - Girl image by Conie Fong.  Isn't she just darling?  Conie also has a little boy version called Bunny Hearts - Boy.  Such adorable and versatile images.

This sweetie was coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  The shine on the balloons was made with a 0.7 mm white Posca pen.  I used my own cloud template to create the clouds with chalks.  The sentiment is backed with Spellbinders "Classic Scalloped Circles Small" dies and a round circle.

Thank you for visiting.  I always appreciate it.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Japanese Cute Doll by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hello friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge which is starting today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This is the final challenge for 2021. The theme is an easy one:  Anything Goes.  This challenge will run until January 11, 2022 because the Design Teams are taking a break until then.  I have used the beautiful "Japanese Cute Doll" image.  

This gorgeous image is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos, as are the handmade flowers.  I had to snip the frame so that it could fit the narrow width of a slimline card.  The sentiment was cut twice and was offset for added dimension.

Thank you for stopping by.  Do not forget to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see all the other lovely creations by the rest of the designers.  And, why not join in the fun?  There are some wonderful prizes up for grabs.  Have a wonderful and joyous holiday.  Hugs, Lori xx

 

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:        Frantic Stamper "Oriental Frame & Motifs" dies FRA-DIE10069

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
