Butterfly Kisses by Conie Fong

Greetings friends!  This is my first Design Team card for this month for Conie Fong.  I used the gorgeous Butterfly Kisses image by Conie Fong.  You can find it here in Conie's etsy shop.

I used Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils to color this lovely image. I added Swarovski crystals on the top of the frame. For more inspiration, be sure to check Conie's Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design.  You will find some amazing inspiration by the other DT members and other crafters who like Conie Fong's images. 

That's all from me for this post.  Until next time, Lori xx

How to Draw Daisies You Tube Tutorial by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  I made this card a couple of months ago before I had major surgery but I didn't have time to post it then.  Conie Fong has a You Tube video tutorial channel where she shows you how to draw this lovely image, along with some other fabulous simple images by her.

Conie converted this image to JPG format for the Design Team members so that they can colour it and show you how pretty and cheerful it is.  Here is my DT card: 

I used Copic markers to colour this lovely image.  The sentiment is computer generated.  If you would like to learn how to draw this image, you can then share it on Conie's Facebook group called Draw with Conie.

Thanks for visiting.  Until next time, Lori xx

Rose by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  I hope you are all well.  Two weeks ago, northern United States experienced a dangerous arctic blast.  I nearly fell out of my bed when I woke up one morning, checked my phone, and saw that the temperature was -20 degrees.  Yikes!  Luckily, the temperatures warmed up considerably.

This week's theme on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog is: 

LACE and/or FLOWERS

These are two of my favourite embellishments and so I included both on my card.  I used the gorgeous Rose image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.

I used Copic markers to colour this beauty.  The lace was originally white but I dyed it yellow with Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels.  The flowers are handmade.

If you would like to see more inspiration by the other Design Team members, please visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  While there, how about joining in the fun?  There are some wonderful prizes to be won.

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

Garden Bouquet by Conie Fong

Greetings friends!  For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I hope it was an enjoyable and happy day.

Today, I am sharing my inspirational DT card featuring Conie Fong's gorgeous "Garden Bouquet" image.  This lovely image also comes with a second image called "Bootiful Bouquet".

I coloured the image with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  Then, I decided to fussy cut the image.  It's been raining and dark all day today so it was a bit hard to take a good photo.  The card does look considerably better IRL. 

I thank you for stopping by.  It's very appreciated.  Have a lovely weekend.  

Hugs, Lori xx

Garden Bouquet by Conie Fong

 Hello there, friends.  I just love flowers!  That said, I am sharing my DT card showcasing the gorgeous "Garden Bouquet" image by Conie Fong, found in her etsy shop here:  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/608124609/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-conie?ref=shop_home_active_149

This image is not only beautiful but versatile as well and can be used for numerous occasions.  I have coloured this image before but I decided to use darker, bolder colours this time.

This is the inside of the card:

Copics and Polychromos were used to colour the image.  I cut a circle using the same background paper, embossed it and inked the edges and dots.  I applied Swarovski crystals to the bodies of the butterflies, and inked their wings so that they matched the flowers.

Conie's current Facebook challenge is still going on.  Why not join in the fun?  We'd love to see your creations. You may win some stunning images from Conie.

Basket of Flowers Girl by Lemon Shortbread

Hi peeps!  I love Daylight Savings Time.  It's so wonderful that the days are so long and that there's more light to enjoy the evenings.  

This card is my DT inspiration for Lemon Shortbread's current challenge: http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/  
Spring is my favourite season and so I chose the darling "Basket of Flowers Girl" image because it makes me think of spring when nature comes to life.  Flowers bloom, trees grow, birds sing, and temperatures become more temperate. So refreshing!  You can find this lovely image here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/591491786/digital-stamps-basket-of-flowers-girl?ref=shop_home_active_53

As always, I've coloured her with a combination of Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  The gorgeous flowers are from I Am Roses:  https://www.iamroses.com/

  I applied glitter to the tiny butterfly's wings.  I wish you a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Purple Balloon by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hello everyone!  Hope your weekend was nice.  My weekend was rather trying because we had an ice storm on Friday, then quite a bit of snow, and three power outages, all on the same day. Crazy! The ice storm covered every single branch.  It was incredibly beautiful.  When the sun finally came out for a bit, everything was sparkling.  Afterwards, it snowed.  What a breathtaking sight!  A winter wonderland, for sure.

My DT card today features the lovely "Purple Balloon" image by Ching-Chou Kuik, found here:
