Baby Seals YouTube Video by Conie Fong - Card 2

Greetings friends!  There are some wonderful YouTube videos by Conie Fong where she teaches you, step by step, how to draw some simple images.  See here.  If you like these informative videos, please leave a comment and subscribe.  

These sweet baby seals are so lovable that I decided to make a second card with them.  Conie made this image into a digital one so that the design team members could create a card/project with it.  That way, everyone can see how truly adorable and versatile it is.  This time, I made a slimline card.  

I created a simple scene for these babies and coloured the entire image with Copic markers.  The sentiment was computer generated.  I added four tiny 3-D stickers on the corners of the image.

In addition to her YouTube videos, Conie also has a public Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  

Sincere thanks for visiting.  Stay well, and take good care of yourselves.  Hugs, Lori xx
