Shoe Fetish by Redonkadoodles

Hi peeps!  I have the pleasure and honour of being the Guest Designer at the Arty Divas Challenge Blog:

https://artydivaschallenge.blogspot.com/

How exciting is that?  I have always loved shoes and so I used the fabulous "Shoe Fetish" image by Redonkadoodles:

https://www.redonkadoodles.com/Digital-Stamps/shoe-fetish-digital-stamp

The image is coloured with my trusty Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  The flowers and the hatpin are handmade.  I added glitter to the shoe to make it look dressy and sexy.  I also applied a drop of Liquid Pearls on her earring.

I wish you a lovely day and happy weekend.  Stay safe.  Hugs, Lori xx

Hi everyone!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  I just love mermaids so I chose the gorgeous "Enchanting Gold" image by Ching-Chou Kuik for my  DT card,  found here:

After Midnight by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hi all!  Here is my latest DT card for Ching-Chou's brand new Facebook challenge.  The theme is "Embossing - Wet or Dry or Both".  I used the beautiful "After Midnight" image, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/535216501/after-midnight-instant-download-digital?ref=shop_home_active_130

I decided to go with dry embossing.  I have quite a number of embossing folders so I should remember to use them more often.  I think they add a lovely touch to any card.  To colour this pretty image, I used a combination of Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  The little flower is handmade. 

Ching-Chou also has a challenge blog.  To enter the blog challenge, click here:

Materials and Tools Used 

Mask:  Spellbinders "Venetian Accents" dies

Flower:  EK Success "Gardenia" punch

Butterflies:  Martha Stewart "Monarch Butterfly" and "Classic Butterfly" punches

Embossing Folder:  Crafts-Too "Garden Flowers"

Swarovski crystals, feather, ribbon, flower center and glittered paper (for the butterflies) are from my stash.
