I Am Roses + Conie Fong's Halloween Bundle

Happy Wednesday friends! Today, I'm sharing a card featuring gorgeous I Am Roses flowers with Halloween Dogs with Pumpkin from Conie Fong's digital Halloween Bundle, which is perfect for all those cute and spooky cards. This digital set comes with 16 different images in both PNG and JPEG versions so a whopping total of 32 files for only $3.00!! I mean seriously, it's the best deal ever!!   

I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored it with Copic Markers. The image panel is 4"x4". The square card is 6"x6". 

To complete the card, I added R43 orange peonies, black cherry blossoms, light orange achillea cottage flowers that I colored darker orange with copic markers, and tiny leaves that I colored black with copic markers. I added bats on foam tape to the top corner for some extra fun!

Remember, we currently have a monthly challenge until October 8th on the IAR Blog. Be sure to use a minimum of 3 I Am Roses products on your card to qualify for a prize. I can't wait to see what you make!

Conie Fong: VAMPIRE from the HALLOWEEN BUNDLE

Happy Monday friends! Halloween is "fright" around the corner, and I'm working my way through Conie Fong's digital Halloween Bundle which is perfect for all those cute and spooky cards. This digital set comes with 16 different images in both PNG and JPEG versions so a whopping total of 32 files for only $3.00!! I mean seriously, it's the best deal ever!!   

Today, I colored up this adorable Vampire. I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored him with Copic Markers. I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.25". Next, I used a stencil to add the bats. Then I lightly blended black ink over the entire panel. 

Copics:
Skin: W0, W2, W3, W4, W6
Hair: C3, C5, C8, Black
Red: R24, R27, R37, R39, R59
Black: C5, C7, C9, Black
Ground: W3, W4, W7

 

Both the sentiment and stencil are from Jaded Blossom. Once the panel was completed, I adhered it to a black card base. And guess what? I didn't use any foam tape (which is not normal for me)! It's a flat card and perfect for mailing!

 

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! 

Hugs,
Rosie

Conie Fong: MUMMY from the HALLOWEEN BUNDLE

Happy Wednesday friends! Halloween is "fright" around the corner, and this digital Halloween Bundle from Conie Fong is the perfect set for all those cute and spooky cards! I love the versatility of digital stamps, and today I'm showcasing a fun way to use those Halloween images. I created Mummy shaped cards by printing this mummy image almost the size of an A2 card (a little smaller than 5.5 inches). Then I traced a border around the cut-out image onto a folded black card base (leaving the top of the head area attached on the fold) so I had a black mat around the mummy image.  

Copics:
Gray: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5
Brown: E41, E42, E43, E44

I added foam tape behind the mummy image so it's slightly raised off the black card base. I had so much fun creating these cards, and think they would be excellent to use as an invitation for those upcoming Halloween parties.

On the inside I added a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Spooky Season Stamp Set. You could easily add party details to the inside if you use them as invitations. They would also make great place cards for the table if you added each guest's name on a label/banner for the mummy to hold. The ideas are endless!

 

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! 

Hugs,
Rosie

Conie Fong: DOG WITH CANDY CANE

I'm still working on Christmas cards, and I couldn't pass up this adorable puppy from Conie Fong's Dog with Bone and Candy Cane Bundle. Isn't he the cutest dog ever?!! I printed the image on Xpress It Blending Card, cut it out with scissors, and colored him with Copic Markers. 

I created the indoor scene using patterned paper. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Sweet Christmas Wishes Stamp Set + Outline Dies.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Rosie

Conie Fong: Pandas Are Awesome And So Are You!

This month I've been having fun showcasing the different pandas in Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. All of the pandas in this bundle are adorable! I printed this image on Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. And yes, my brain was not braining and I colored his head black....so he's a little different, LOL!

I used Blue China Distress Oxide Ink for the sky, and added grass to the bottom of the card using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Pandas Are Awesome Stamp Set.

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 YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

For my card today, I used an adorable digital image from Conie Fong's Panda Bundle. There are 6 different panda images and the file comes with JPEG and PNG versions of each image for a total of 12 images. It's an awesome bundle! I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers. The edges were inked with Distress Oxide Ink.

 

I dry embossed the background with a polka dot embossing folder. I cut the image into a circle and then framed it with a black scallop circle (dies are from Jaded Blossom). Then I kicked it up a notch by adding gorgeous flowers from I Am Roses. Did you know that I Am Roses carries flowers in black?! They are perfect for Bee cards, Halloween cards, and Panda cards. The large white flower is the R43 Peony, followed by black cherry blossoms, small white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves.
