Spring Swing 11 by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends and welcome to this week's challenge (#503) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  We have a wonderful theme this week:  Let It Be Spring.  Spring is my favourite season for a number of reasons, mainly because my sons celebrate their birthday in the spring.

For this challenge, I chose the gorgeous "Spring Swing 11" by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I love this image!  

I drew the background and coloured this beautiful image with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  Then, I applied Liquid Pearls (White Opal) by Ranger to the butterfly's body.

If you would like to see more wonderful inspiration, stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see what the other Design Team members have created.  And, while you are there, why not join in the fun?  There are some lovely prizes to be won.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  I hope to see you again.  In the interim, I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Nap in a Cup by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, lovely friends!  Last week, The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog reached its 500th challenge.  What an achievement, right?  That said, welcome to this week's challenge (#501).  The theme is "One for the Boys".  I chose the adorable "Nap in a Cup" image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  What a versatile image!

I coloured the image with Copic markers.  I used the unused portion of my slimline die, rather than the actual die cut.  I thought that was pretty clever...LOL 

Don't forget to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog for more wonderful inspiration by the rest of the other Design Team members.  You won't be disappointed.  And, while there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous prizes to be won.

I wish you a happy day, and I thank you for stopping by.  Hugs, Lori xx

Gracie & Nibbles by Digi Doodle Studios

Hi friends, and welcome to my post.  I am sharing my GD card today with the darling "Gracie & Nibbles" image by Digi Doodle Studios. There is a challenge going on now on The Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog as well as a challenge on Facebook.  But, hurry if you want to join in the fun because both challenges end at the end of the month.

What a cute pair!  I used Copic markers to colour the image.  I used my Cricut die cutting machine to cut out the letters with the Base Camp cartridge and added EK Success Sticko dimensional stickers to the letters.

That's all for today.  Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx
