Coffee Sprite by Aurora Wings

Hello friends!  I hope you all had a nice weekend.  I start every morning with a large mug of hot black coffee.  The much anticipated 2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is going on now through November 18.  There are so many wonderful super sponsors.  How exciting!

I created a card for this hop using Aurora Wings' delightful Coffee Sprite.

This sweetie is coloured with my usual mediums (Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I generally like to ground my images so I drew a very simple background.  

That's all from me today.  Thank you for stopping by.  I wish you a lovely week.  Hugs, Lori xx

So Pretty!! by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello, dear friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is SHOW ME SOME BLING.  What an awesome challenge!

I am showcasing the charming So Pretty!! image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.


I used Copics and Polychromos to colour her.  I had a sheet of adhesive rhinestones by Recollections.  I used only part of the sheet for my card.  With all due respect, the card looks so much better IRL.  OK, enough bragging!  LOL

That's all from me today.  Have a happy day.  Until next time, Lori xx

Greetings!  I hope you had a happy weekend.  I came across this amazing 2022 Card Design Superstar contest hosted by My Favorite Things and I decided to enter it.  You can chose one of three categories.  I chose the Clean & Simple Genius Category.  

I love dragons and so I used a delightful little dragon from the BB Magical Dragons stamp set by My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is part of the set as well.

I used a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to colour this adorable image.
