Sweet Things by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Good morning, lovely crafters, and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 12th birthday on December 8.

This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part. It is our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us, and sponsoring our challenges. The theme for this special challenge is BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

I coloured this adorable image with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos).  The little cupcakes are from Heartfelt Creations' Sugarspun Collection paper pad.  I will admit that I love cupcakes, especially with chocolate frosting!  LOL 

If you've arrived here from Julie's blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If not, you'll want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, because you don't want to miss out on this one.  

Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize (details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog).

From here you need to hop over to Sammy Jean's blog.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one the the fabulous digis available in TPS store.

Good luck!  I hope you've enjoyed the hop so far.  Thank you very much for visiting.  Have a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Nixie Mermaid by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

 Hello friends!  Hope you are doing well.  Hard to believe it is August already, right?  A new challenge begins today on the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog.

There is a wonderful theme this month:  By the Sea/At the Sea/Under the Sea.

I chose the gorgeous Nixie Mermaid image by Digi Doodle Studios Digital Stamps as my DT inspiration.

She is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.   I love the fabulous background paper by Whimsy Stamps.  I think it compliments the image beautifully.  The cute little koi is by Heartfelt Creations Under the Sea paper pad.  I fussy cut the koi, and I added some 3-D foam under it to give it a curved look. 

I stamped some seagrasses and I drew the rock that Nixie is sitting on. 

There is also a Digi Doodle Studios Facebook challenge.  If you join in the fun on one challenge, or both, you may win some truly lovely images by DDS.

Thank you so much for visiting.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

I  coloured her with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I drew the simple background.

Jezz and Kitt by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  I wish you and your loved ones a healthy and very Happy New Year.  I hope this year is better than the past two years.

Digi Doodle Studios' first challenge for this year started yesterday.  The theme is "Be Happy/Favorite Things".  I chose the delightful Jezz and Kitt image.  This image makes me happy because it includes a sweet kitty and a lovely fairy (two of my favourite things).  OK, kitties aren't things but they definitely occupy a special place in my heart.

I created a simple background for this darling image.  The mediums that I used are Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  I applied clear Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings.  The lovely papers are from Heartfelt Creations "Sugarspun Collection" paper pad.  I printed the sentiment right onto the cardstock.  I also used a tiny heart punch by Studio G and added the hearts to the top and bottom portions of the card.

There is also a Digi Doodle Studios challenge on Facebook.  We would love to see your creations on either the blog or FB (or both) so why not join in the fun?  

That's all from me today.  I wish you a great day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Bluebird by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps - Card #2

 Hello everybody!  Last week, I made a card using the beautiful "Bluebird" digital image by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  Since I coloured two of this beautiful image at the same time, I decided to make a second card with it.  I coloured this one with mostly FC Polychromos pencils and a few Copic markers.  The flowers are handmade.

 

There is a December giveaway going on right now on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Facebook group.  The winner will receive one stamp set of their choice free each month of 2022.  Isn't that fabulous?  I plan on entering the giveaway with my second card as well.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

Westie Wooki Winter Pup by Digi Doodle Studios

Hello friends!  Today, I am showcasing the truly darling "Westie Wooki Winter Pup" image by Digi Doodle Studios which you can find in Dina's etsy shop here: 

 https://digidoodlestudios.com/collections/digital-stamps/products/westie-wooki-winter-pup-digi-doodle-studios-digi-stamp

I seem to be making quite a number of slimline cards lately.  It's enjoyable to try something different.  Besides, they are very popular nowadays and I'm hooked!

This endearing image is coloured with Copic markers.  I coloured the background of the image so that it matches the background paper.  I added some glitter to the areas where there is snow, and added some tiny snowflakes around the entire front of the card.  I thought that the background paper from Heartfelt Creations was perfect for the image.  I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  Modest, aren't I?  LOL!

Digi Doodle Studios has a monthly blog challenge (theme this month:  Christmas in July) and a Facebook Challenge.  We'd love to see your creations.

Good morning and welcome to my inspiration post for Lemon Shortbread's new challenge which starts today.  The theme is always "Anything Goes".  http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/  

I chose the fabulous "T-Shirt Soda Girl", found here:

I drew the background and coloured the image with Copics and Polychromos.  

That's all from me today.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx
