613 Avenue Create - August - Anything Goes/Optional Twist Clean and Simple


Another great challenge over at 613 Avenue Create this month. The challenge 

as usual is anything goes and our optional twist is clean and simple. 

Our sponsor this month is Conie Fong Art.




Conie Fong is a self-taught artist residing in California, USA with her husband, daughter, pet hamster and fishes.  In her early childhood years, she was inspired by every kind of art and crafts.  She loved watching demonstrations by artists on the streets and at festivals and spent most of her free time perusing arts and crafts books in the library, drawing, crafting and experimenting with her art supplies at home.  Conie first started sharing her art with the world by selling ACEO reprints of her ACEO paintings of fairies, mermaids, and kitty art on Ebay in 2010.  She was a full time account manager for a University before becoming a full time mom and part time artist.  She currently enjoys spending time with her family traveling, exploring the outdoors, and designing beautiful, cute, and magical art for craft and coloring lovers. 

This is my card I made for this challenge using 
Conie Fong's image called  Bella with Rose


 

I kept the card simple by colouring Bella with copics, pencil crayon and a white gel pen. I fussy cut her out and added her to a die cut background. She is so cute. 
I did not add a sentiment because this image can be used for many different occasions. Great card to have on hand.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
