Japanese Cute Doll by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

 Hello friends!  Welcome to my DT post for the new challenge which is starting today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This is the final challenge for 2021. The theme is an easy one:  Anything Goes.  This challenge will run until January 11, 2022 because the Design Teams are taking a break until then.  I have used the beautiful "Japanese Cute Doll" image.  

This gorgeous image is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos, as are the handmade flowers.  I had to snip the frame so that it could fit the narrow width of a slimline card.  The sentiment was cut twice and was offset for added dimension.

Thank you for stopping by.  Do not forget to stop by The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to see all the other lovely creations by the rest of the designers.  And, why not join in the fun?  There are some wonderful prizes up for grabs.  Have a wonderful and joyous holiday.  Hugs, Lori xx

 

Materials and Tools Used 

Frame:        Frantic Stamper "Oriental Frame & Motifs" dies FRA-DIE10069

Sentiment:  Impression Obsession "Hello" die

Flowers:     EK Success "Retro" flower punches (medium and small)

Kimono Kayuki by Conie Fong

Hi peeps!  I made a card a week ago with this darling image ("Kimono Kayuki").  I love it so much that I decided to make another card with it for Conie's Facebook challenge (theme:  "Use Glitter or Sparkle on Your Creation").   This time, I coloured her kimono purple.  I used glitter paper for the frame, the left edge of the patterned paper and the sentiment.  I also added a Swarovski crystal for more sparkle, and glittery floss.  You can find her here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/731290619/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp?ref=shop_home_active_12&pro=1

I made the 3-D fan with Spellbinders "Classic Scalloped Circles" die, and stamped some flowers on it.  As always, I have coloured her with a combination of Copics and Polychromos pencils.   Enjoy your weekend, and I also wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Hugs, Lori xx  

Materials and Tools Used  

Border:  Joy Crafts "Frame and Three Corners" die 6002/0356

Fan:       Spellbinders "Classic Scalloped Circles" die (small)
