Vintage Tea Cups by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Greetings, dear friends!  It's time for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog's new challenge (#603).  The theme this week is:

THREE TIMES ANYTHING

(three of the same embellishments, etc)

I love tea cups, and I have some truly gorgeous tea cups and saucers on display in my china closet and also on some of my shelves.  With that in mind, I just had to select a lovely image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps called Vintage Tea Cups.  Here is my Design Team card.


I used my trusty Copic markers to colour this lovely image.  I applied clear Wink of Stella (Zig) to the wings of the butterfly.  It's hard to see here but the wings have a pretty shimmer IRL.  The flowers are handmade and the centers are by EK Success.

If you'd like to see some more fabulous inspiration by the other Design Team members, see here.  And, while there, how about joining the challenge?  There are some beautiful images to be won.


There is also a group on Facebook called The Paper Shelter Fan Group which has more inspiration.  

That's all from me today.  Take care, and have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Merry Season by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hello friends!  We are halfway through MerMay but there is still time for you to join in the fun on a group on Facebook called Paper Crafting for Everyone.  It is a private group but you can join it because there is lots of wonderful inspiration there.

I found this gorgeous images in my stash of uncoloured images and decided to colour it.  It is called Merry Season by Ching-Chou Kuik.     Here is my slimline card.


I made a card with this beautiful image once before and I used the same colours except for her outfit.  I coloured her with Copic markers.  I created a little scene at the bottom of the card with some lovely dies.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.  I really appreciate it.  Take care and stay well.  Hugs, Lori xx

The Music Practice by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hello friends!  Today, a new challenge begins on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is a wonderful one:  

SPRING COLOURS 

Spring is my favourite season because both of my awesome sons were born in the spring.  And, since spring is the season when the world revives after the cold winter months, I very much look forward to spring.

I chose the darling image called The Music Practice by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps because it reminded me of how much I enjoy listening to the little birds singing outside my window.


I coloured this little lady with Copic markers.  The flowers are handmade and also coloured with Copic markers.  I added 3-D foam under the petals of each flower to add some dimension and some enamel dots to the centers.

If you would like more inspiration by the other design team members, please see here.  If you join our challenge, you may win some lovely images.  


Also, there is a Facebook group called The Paper Shelter Fan Group for even more inspiration.

Thank you for visiting.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Jerina and Kitty by Digi Doodle Studios

 Hello, dear friends!  I am sharing my second DT card today which I created for the new challenge on the Digi Doodle Challenge Blog. And, while you are there, you can check out the other creations by the rest of the Design Team.

There are six new darling images on Digi Doodle Digi Stamps.  I used one of them called Jerina and Kitty.  Looks like this cute pair is practicing some relaxation techniques.

The theme this month is By the Sea / At the Sea / Under the Sea

I have always found that being near a lake, a sea or an ocean is so tranquil and so I decided to draw the pier and the background.  I coloured this adorable image with Copics and Polychromos.

Digi Doodle Studios also has a Facebook challenge.  Why not pop in and join in the fun on one, or both challenges?

Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you soon.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Martini Glass Birthday Card

 Hi friends!  Here is something different from me.  I got this freebie martini glass digital stamp in 2011 from Andy Bauer.  Unfortunately, it is no longer available.  I decided to add some free candle and clipart images to the glass, and coloured it all with Copic markers.  And, voila!  A birthday card.  Crazy, right?


I added some glitter to the flame and stamped some tiny fireworks.  I am going to send this card to my niece's husband.  Hope he likes it.  Thank you for visiting.  Until next time.  Hugs, Lori xx
