Pumpkin Emily by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  Hope you are all doing well.  I am sharing my DT with the darling Pumpkin Emily image by Conie Fong.  She is a brand new release by Conie Fong.  This sweetie is just perfect for Halloween and autumn themed cards.   

As always I coloured her with my trusty Copic markers, and I drew the fence and the background behind the fence and her and her little kitty.  I then added some 3-D stickers onto the bead border.

Be sure to visit Conie Fong's Facebook group.  You will find her monthly challenge and some wonderful inspiration.  

That's all from me today.  Have a lovely weekend.  Lori xx

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
