Conie Fong's New YouTube Videos

Hello dear friends!  I am excited to share some wonderful news with you today.  Conie Fong now has some fabulous YouTube videos which teach you how to draw simple images.  Isn't that awesome? 

My card today features Conie Fong's sweet little dog.  This little dog was turned into a digital stamp for the Design Team members to use so you can get an idea of how cute and versatile this little dog is when coloured and used to make a card.

Would you like to learn how to draw it?  If you do, check it out here.  And, Conie has some other amazing videos where you can learn to draw gift boxes, Santa, Christmas trees, a candy cane, and more videos to come.  See here.

If you enjoy watching these videos, won't you please subscribe, like and comment to her channel.  

Conie also has a new Facebook group called Draw with Conie.  You can share your drawings that you created by following her videos on this group.  

I coloured the little dog with Copic markers.  The bone with the sentiment is handmade.  I used a small heart die to make a template, printed the sentiment, and overlayed the template over the sentiment.  Finally, I fussy cut around the template...and voila... a bone! 

Thank you for visiting.  Stay well, and Happy Holidays to you and your families.

Baby Fairy by Jelena Art Coloring

Hi friends!  I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving.  I  made this shaped card several months ago.  It is a digital download from a gorgeous coloring book by Jelena Art Coloring.  It is a stunning collection of forty grayscale images.  I made this card with one of them.

I coloured this adorable image with Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils, and I added clear Wing of Stella to her wings for a lovely sparkle.

I wish you a happy weekend, and I thank you for visiting.  Until next time, Lori xx
