Rosealea Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends.  Hope you are well.  As you probably know, I just love mermaids. And, since May is MerMay, I am sharing another DT inspirational card featuring one of Conie Fong's newest releases called Rosealea Mermaid.  I am obsessed with this gorgeous image and so this is my third card using her.  This beauty is available facing right and left. She is available in both PNG and JPG versions, along with two sentiments.

As always, I used my favourite medium to colour her (Copic markers), and  I drew some bubbles around her.  The lovely background paper is "Under the Sea" Slimline Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps.  The sentiment is computer generated.

Conie has a monthly Facebook group If you have some time, check it out here.  You will find some amazing inspiration.  

Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy day,  Until next time, Lori xx

Rosealea Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends and welcome to my first post this month. As many of us know, today is the official start of MerMay.  That means that artists all over the world create a work depicting a mermaid.  It's a month long fest.  

I adore mermaids and so I chose to feature a gorgeous mermaid by Conie Fong called Rosealea Mermaid.  Actually, this is my third DT card using this stunning image.  It is available in JPG and PNG formats.  Plus, it comes with the mermaid facing right and left, and two sentiments.

I used Copic markers to colour her, and added a seashell clipart image behind her.  Then, I drew some bubbles for added interest.  I also added some dimensional stickers on the top and botton of the frame

For more wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members, and anyone else who joins her monthly Facebook challenge, please see here.

Thanks very much for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx

Cupcake Honey Bee by Conie Fong

Hey there, friends!  I hope those of you who celebrated Easter had a wonderful day.  

My DT inspirational card today features the delightful Cupcake Honey Bee image by Conie Fong.  I am allergic to bees IRL and I actually panic when I see one!   

This little bee is available in both PNG and JPG formats, and comes with 5 super cute sentiments.

As always, I used Copics to colour this cute image, and I drew a simple background.  I added clear Wink of Stella to the wings for a lovely shimmer.

For more amazing inspiration, head over to Conie's Facebook group where she hosts a monthly challenge.  If you join in the fun, you may win some fabulous images.

Well, that's all from me today.  Thank you for popping by. Enjoy your day.  Lori xx

Daisy Bee Bundle by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends.  Spring, my favourite season, is officially here but there are no signs of spring in my neck of the woods.  In fact, there are still some piles of snow everywhere.  Slowly, but surely, the snow is melting.  Both my sons celebrate their birthday this month so April is extra special to me.

My Design Team card today features Conie Fong's adorable Daisy Bee.  What a sweet little bee!  It's available in both PNG and JPG format. And, it comes with a short stem version.

I coloured this sweetie with Copic markers and applied clear Wink of Stella to his/her wings.  

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other DT and GDT members, and anyone else who joins in the fun, head over to Conie's Facebook group. And, don't forget to visit Conie's etsy shop where you will find some truly darling and beautiful images.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Lori xx
