Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  My DT card today features Broomstick Emily by Conie Fong.  She is one of two new releases.  I love the fall weather, and the temperatures here are finally cooling down.  I also love Halloween because it brings back such wonderful memories of my kids when they were young and went Trick-or-Treating.  Here is my card:

I decided to draw a background for this cutie.  The image and background are coloured with Copic markers.  I then stamped some tiny cobwebs around the wall and added a little ghost die cut.  The black kitty is a very old stamp which I had in my stash.

Conie has a monthly Facebook challenge.  If you have time, why not join in the fun?  There are some adorable images to be won.  If you want some amazing inspiration, just visit Conie's Facebook group.

That's all from me today.  Take good care of yourselves.  Lori xx

Arabian Spell by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  The Design Team members for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog have been on their summer break for a number of weeks now and it's time to start the challenges once again.  Team B's break ended last week and now it's Team A's turn (#565).  The theme is:

ADD A SENTIMENT 

I am showcasing the lovely Arabian Spell by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I generally make slimline cards but I decided to make an A-6 card this time.  

I coloured the image with my Copic markers.  I wanted to create a shimmer for her chiffon skirt so I added clear Wink of Stella.  I also added Wink of Stella to her bracelets and jewels.  Finally, I added some dimensional stickers for some shine around the card.

Thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog where you will see some wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members.  Also, when you are there, why not join in the fun?  There are some fabulous images to be won.  

Take good care of yourselves, and I hope to see you again soon.  Lori xx

Bailey and Bee by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  I hope you are all well.  I made this card a while ago but never posted it.  This delightful image is Bailey and Bee by Conie Fong.  I wanted to create something different so I found a template for a hexagon and cut three of them. I chalked the edges and matted them with black cardstock.  I used a honeycomb die and filled in some areas with a darker yellow.  My DT card:

As always, I used Copic markers to colour this sweet image.  If you have some time, why not check out Conie's Facebook group and her monthly challenge.  You will see some wonderful inspiration by the other DT members and other amazing crafters.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for stopping by, and hope to see you again soon.  Have a lovely day, Lori xx

Happy by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  This week is the start of our Summer Break Challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  It is a four week break, and both Design Teams will be participating.  You can still enter this challenge but we will not be commenting so that we can spend some of our summer vacation with our families.

The theme is an easy one:  ANYTHING GOES

I chose the delightful Happy image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  As usual, I used Copic markers to colour her.  I also drew a little background scene for her. 

To see the inspiration by both of the Design Teams, be sure to check it out here. And, if you have some time, why not enter the challenge?  There are some wonderful images to be won.

That's all from me today.  Thank you for visiting.  I wish you a happy and safe summer.   Take good care of yourselves.  See you in four weeks.  Hugs, Lori xx
