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.

A Place to Start - Anything Goes with Optional Twist Balloons and Flowers

A Place to Start has a wonderful challenge this month, along as usually the challenge of anything goes the optional twist is  balloons and flowers.  Lots of possibilities.
     



Conie Fong Art and Design is our generous sponsor. 



This is one of my project I made using one of her images .  I love her selections of digital  images, so many to chose from that I actually made two cards with different images. 

The image I used for this card is called Dragon Bouquet Bundle


 This set from Conie Fong along with the images contains many sentiments.

This card I used using an image called Garden and Bootfil Bouquet




To make both of my  cards I coloured the images and balloon  with Copics Markers, gold leaf pen,  pencil crayons, Nuvo, geli pens and a Wink of Stella. I used an old  rubber stamp sentiment from my stash by  Rubber Stampede (1992) for the sentiment.
