Bear with Heart YouTube Video by Conie Fong

Hello friends!  Have you seen Conie Fong's new YouTube videos where she teaches you how to draw, step by step, some adorable simple images?  Well, you are in for a treat!  See here. 

On this particular video, Conie teaches you how to draw an adorable Bear with Heart.  This cute image can be used for so many occasions.  Conie converted this image into a digital image so that the design team members could colour it and show you how really sweet this image is.  

I used my Copic markers to colour the image and I added the sentiment on the heart.  Here is my DT card:

There is a Facebook group called Draw with Conie where you can submit your drawings and colourings.  Imagine being able to draw these images yourself.  So cool!

Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you all again soon.  Hugs, 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

Bella Benji Fairy Bundle by Conie Fong

Hello dear friends!  Welcome to my DT post today.  I used the darling Bella image from the Bella Benji Bundle by Conie Fong.  I just love these sweet little bears.  In fact, I love teddy bears of all kinds.  This bundle comes six images (Bella and Benji facing right and left, and two sentiments), and is one of six new releases.

I wanted to ground her, so I drew a leaf for her.  I coloured her and the leaf with Copics.  Then, I applied clear Wing of Stella to her wings for a lovely shimmer. Finally, I used chalk to create the clouds.

Conie has a Facebook group where you can enter her monthly challenges.  She has some adorable images for the winners.  So, why not join in the fun?

Thank you for visiting.  I appreciate it.  I wish you a lovely day.  Hugs, Lori xx
