Retro Space Girl by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends.  I would like to preface this post by saying that, in case you haven't heard, our beloved co-owner of The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps, Veronica, tragically passed away on September 25, 2024.  Please see more details about this here.  We are so saddened by this news. 

----------------------------------------------

Another new challenge (#615) is starting today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is:  

SQUARES/CIRCLES

I made a card with this image some time ago using masculine colours.  I decided to make another card with this image called Retro Space Girl by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps using feminine colours.  I love this adorable image.  Here is my Design Team card:

This little cutie is coloured with Copic markers.  I added some enamel dots on the left side of the circle.

For more amazing inspiration by the other Design Team members, see here.  While there, why not join our challenge?  There are some wonderful images up for grabs.  Check this out:

The Paper Paper Shelter also has a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Club where you will find even more inspiration.

That's all from me.  Until next time, Lori xx

Balloon House YouTube video by Conie Fong

Greetings friends!  Today's post features an adorable image by Conie Fong called Balloon House.  Conie has a YouTube channel where she teaches you how to draw this balloon house, along with some other super cute images.  Please see here.

Conie converted this image to JPG format for the Design Team members so that you can see how truly awesome and versatile this image is.  I coloured the image with Copic markers.  This is the second card that I made with this image.  On the first card, the balloons were opaque.  This time, I made the balloons transparent.  Here is my Design Team card:  

I coloured the image with Copic markers, as usual.  Remember to check out Conie's YouTube videos here.  And, if you like these videos, please subscribe and leave a comment.  

Conie has a Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  If you draw any of Conie's images, you can post them there.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope to see you soon.  Take care, Lori xx

Little Mermaid by Conie Fong

Hello friends, and welcome to today's post.  You all probably know by now how much I love mermaids.  My card showcases the darling Little Mermaid image by Conie Fong.  This is the third card that I created with this image.  Here is my Design Team card:

I coloured her with Copic markers, and I added a few bubbles on the water. I also added a row of tiny bling at the top and some tiny fish on the border. 

Conie has a Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design where you will find some amazing inspiration by the other DT members and other crafters as well.

That's all from me today.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

How to Draw Daisies You Tube Tutorial by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I made this card a couple of months ago before I had major surgery but I didn't have time to post it then.  Conie Fong has a You Tube video tutorial channel where she shows you how to draw this lovely image, along with some other fabulous simple images by her.

Conie converted this image to JPG format for the Design Team members so that they can colour it and show you how pretty and cheerful it is.  Here is my DT card: 

I used Copic markers to colour this lovely image.  The sentiment is computer generated.  If you would like to learn how to draw this image, you can then share it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Thanks for visiting.  Until next time, Lori xx
