Aster Flower Girl by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Good morning/afternoon!  I hope your weekend was enjoyable.  Here we are with another new month.  May went by so fast, right?

I am sharing my DT inspirational card for the new challenge which begins today on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog:  

http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

This gorgeous young lady is "Aster Flower Girl" by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps and can be found here:   https://www.etsy.com/listing/621688390/digital-stamp-aster-flower-girl-digi?ref=shop_home_active_53

Aster flowers are lovely perennials and symbolize love, wisdom, patience, faith, elegance and beauty.  They come in a variety of colours.  In Greek mythology, it is said that the aster was created by the tears of the Greek goddess, Asteraea.

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this beautiful image.  The aster is handmade.

Garden Bouquet by Conie Fong

 Hello there, friends.  I just love flowers!  That said, I am sharing my DT card showcasing the gorgeous "Garden Bouquet" image by Conie Fong, found in her etsy shop here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/608124609/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-conie?ref=shop_home_active_149

This image is not only beautiful but versatile as well and can be used for numerous occasions.  I have coloured this image before but I decided to use darker, bolder colours this time.

This is the inside of the card:

Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image.  I cut a circle using the same background paper, embossed it and inked the edges and dots.  I applied Swarovski crystals to the bodies of the butterflies, and inked their wings so that they matched the flowers.

Conie's current Facebook challenge is still going on.  Why not join in the fun?  We'd love to see your creations. You may win some stunning images from Conie.

Babydoll by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps

 Hi friends!  Time for a brand new challenge on the Lemon Shortbread Challenge Blog:  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/

For my DT card, I chose the adorable "Babydoll" image by Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps, found here in Vera's etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/224765792/digital-stamp-babydoll-dress-girl-digi?ref=shop_home_active_156

I coloured this cute image with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  Then, I decided to draw the background.  At first, I was disappointed that I didn't plan my colours better (green dress, green bow, green tree, green grass). So much green!  But, ultimately, I decided that it looks fine.  LOL!

We would love to see your creations, so why not join in the fun?  And, there is a Lemon Shortbread Facebook group as well:

Maisy Mouse by Conie Fong

 Hi peeps!  My Design Team card which features the delightful and super sweet "Maisy Mouse" by Conie Fong, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/985947816/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-maisy?ref=shop_home_active_5&crt=1

There are six separate images included with this stamp set, including Cory, a darling little boy mouse.

Could she be any cuter?  I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.  I love pink and purple (my favourite colours) so I coloured the flowers with both.  I also drew the little scene.  I added Swarovski crystals to the large purple butterfly and tiny pearls on the other butterflies.

I made this card for Conie Fong's monthly challenge on Facebook for completed projects.  Conie also has a colouring only challenge:

Mother's Day Card

 Hello friends!  I hope you had a lovely weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.  I coloured this image quite a while ago but I no longer remember who designed it.  Sorry about that.  I finally got around to making a Mother's Day card with it.

I coloured this sweet image with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils, and chalked some clouds behind it.  

Thank you for visiting and hope to see you again.  Hugs, Lori xx
