Purrfect Kitties with Lights by Conie Fong

 Hi friends!  I usually start making the bulk of my Christmas cards this month.  I have already made a couple of cards.  This is my latest inspirational DT card showcasing the truly darling Purrfect Kitties image by Conie Fong.  Conie has quite a number of truly adorable Christmas images.  I made this card for Conie's Facebook group.

My card is pretty simple.  All I did was colour the image, add the free sentiment by Kiss Clipart and... voila!  Another Christmas card!

Thank you for visiting.  I always enjoy reading your lovely comments.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx

I would like to enter this card on the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog (theme:  Animal Kingdom).  Below is the photo that was given as inspiration.  I love all kinds of animals, especially any type of feline, wild and domestic.  I immediately focused on the gorgeous white tiger because kitties have a special place in my heart.  And, what better way to  represent that than to use Conie's gorgeous Purrfect Kitties image?

Nixie Mermaid by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

 Hello friends!  Hope you are doing well.  Hard to believe it is August already, right?  A new challenge begins today on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog.

There is a wonderful theme this month:  By the Sea/At the Sea/Under the Sea.

I chose the gorgeous Nixie Mermaid image by Digi Doodle Studios Digital Stamps as my DT inspiration.

She is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.   I love the fabulous background paper by Whimsy Stamps.  I think it compliments the image beautifully.  The cute little koi is by Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea paper pad.  I fussy cut the koi, and I added some 3-D foam under it to give it a curved look. 

I stamped some seagrasses and I drew the rock that Nixie is sitting on. 

There is also a Digi Doodle Studios Facebook challenge.  If you join in the fun on one challenge, or both, you may win some truly lovely images by DDS.

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

Laurel by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

 Hi peeps!  Welcome to my second DT post this month for Digi Doodle Studios.  I am featuring the darling Laurel image by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps.  I wonder what kinds of books she enjoys?  Reading is one of my favourite pastimes.

The theme for this month is 3 or more layers.  I added 4 layers to my card:  the slimline die layer, two patterned papers and the glittered frame.  As always, I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.  

That's all from me today.  Thank you for stopping by, and remember to visit the DDS challenge blog and/or the DDS Facebook group, or both.  You may win some adorable images.  

Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Sweetheart by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi peeps! I hope you are all well.  We have a super easy theme this week on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog:  ANYTHING GOES.  I decided to make a birthday card showcasing the adorable Sweetheart image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps. This is my DT inspiration:  

As always, my Copic markers and Polychromos pencils were used to colour this cutie.   I generally always colour an image first but, this time, I wanted to use the colours on the lovely background paper, and so I pulled some colours from the paper to colour the image. 

This will be our last challenge until August 18 because both Design Teams will be taking a break during this time. 

For more inspiration, check out what the other Design Team members made here.  If you have some time, why not join our challenge?  You may win some beautiful images.

Thank you for visiting.  It's so appreciated.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Gnome Gift by Conie Fong

 Hello friends!  Welcome to my post today.  This is my first Design Team inspiration this month for Conie Fong's Facebook group.  This sweet little guy is Gnome Gift by Conie Fong.  He's available in PNG and JPG formats, along with some other adorable images.  This is the third card that I've made with this image because it's so cute and versatile.  

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour him, and I drew a simple background.  Then I added some tiny snowflakes.

If you have some time, why not pop over to Conie's FB group and join in the fun?  You may win some darling images by Conie Fong.

Thank you for visiting, and hope to see you soon.  Hugs, Lori xx

Eloise by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Hello, my friends!  Today, I am showcasing the darling Eloise by Digi Doodle Studios.  This cutie is is part of a new release by DDS.  Isn't she adorable?

Digi Doodle Studios has both a monthly blog challenge and a Facebook challenge.  I have been a Guest Designer for DDS since December 2020; however, I am starting this month as a full-fledged Design Team member.   So exciting!  The theme this month is 3 or More Layers.  I included four layers on my card:  the patterned paper, the layer with the embossing folder and the two frames.  

I drew a simple background for her, and coloured her with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils. 

Thank you for visiting.  It's very appreciated.  I hope to see you all soon.  Hugs, Lori xx
