Today, I'm sharing a card using this fabulous image from Conie Fong's Succulent and Cactus Bundle. I pieced together several of the succulent images in MS Word to make this grouping. I printed it on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored it with Copic Markers. Next, I fussy cut it out, and raised it on foam tape.  

 

For the flowers, I used R43 pale pink with pink center peonies, S3-15 white cherry blossoms, S10m-(4C) soft pink-hot pink center small achillea cottage flowers, along with tiny green roses leaves. The background succulent paper is a digital file from Etsy.

Jaded Blossom: LET'S FIESTA!

Happy Friday everyone! It's MAY, and that means Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner! My card today for Jaded Blossom features this fabulous cactus from the Let's Fiesta Stamp Set. Isn't he adorable?! I used a die that's part of the Gnome Dies: Tea Add Ons to make the cactus pot. 

The window frame was created using the newly released Stitched Arch Dies. I even created my own background paper using the Chili Pepper Stencil. The cactus and arched frame are both raised on foam tape for extra dimension.

Remember, we have a current "ANIMALS" Challenge until tomorrow, May 2nd, for a chance at winning a free stamp set! You don't have to have a blog to play along. You can load your card to the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group and then add your link from Facebook. There are instructions HERE to help you!

Have a great weekend!

Conie Fong: SUCCULENT AND CACTUS BUNDLE

Happy Tuesday friends! Today's card features an adorable illustration from Conie Fong's Succulent and Cactus Bundle. Isn't this cacti family adorable?! I love their sweet expressions! The cacti image was printed on Xpress It Blending Card, and colored with Copic Markers.

I used a cloud stencil and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to make the sky background. I trimmed off the bottom pot so the little guy would look like he was peeking out of the photo frame. The Photo Frame Die and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom. The cacti paper is a digital paper pack from Etsy.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also has a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE if you want to give drawing a try. Head over and join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group to share your drawings. We would love to Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Conie Fong: SUCCULENT & CACTUS BUNDLE

Happy Sunday friends! Have you checked out Conie Fong's FREE drawing videos on her YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE? Conie walks you step-by-step on how to draw simple images. If you have ever been interested in drawing or need an activity to keep the kids entertained, then head over and Subscribe! She is also loading these images into her ConieFongArt Etsy Store so you can purchase the digital line art to color if you don't want to draw them.

Today's card features a cute kawaii cactus image from the SUCCULENT AND CACTUS BUNDLE. I needed a Thank You Card and this image was quick to color. I also kept the card on the simple side by using patterned paper and navy cardstock. 

The scallop circle die is from Jaded Blossom. I added a strip of navy cardstock behind the image and raised the circle on foam tape for extra dimension. The sentiment was typed in MS Word under the image before printing.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a separate group to share your drawings if you give them a try. Head over and join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group to share your drawings. We would love to Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!
