Mo's Images

Cards, Cards, Cards!

I had some time to play the other day and colored up several of Mo's wonderful images!

 Here are a few cards I made.

I made this card for one of our daughters-in-law whose birthday got by me somehow!
I really love that rose paper!

This is a sympathy card for a cousin. This is such a pretty image!

  I realized when I saw the photo that two pearls were missing! I fixed it, though.

 The subtle shine of the Spica pen I used to highlight the wings and dress don't show
 in the photo, but it's very pretty IRL!

Let's Hear It For the Red, White, and Blue!

Mo's Challenge #184

CAS

(Clean and Simple)

That's the  theme for Mo's Challenge that our hostess, Anja, has for us this week.

I have a hard time making cards with a lot of stuff on them, but the same is true for 'clean and simple' cards!

 I guess I'm more a 'middle of the road' card maker! I love both styles, but just can't seem to pull either off to my satisfaction. I envy designers who create beautiful cards on either end of the spectrum!

*********************

*******************

This card uses "Big Present", and I paper-pieced the gift using digital paper. When using digital paper, there's little to no waste. I just print the image as usual, print a piece of digital paper that's big enough to cover the desired area, then print the image over it. It's a nice technique to use when you have a large area that you'd rather not have to color.

Images: "Big Present" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment from PrintWorks

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, MS Hydrangea punch, SU! Mambo Melon ink pad, Mounting tape, Glue Dots

Paper: SU! Mambo Melon CS, Neenah white, Digital DPs

Embellishments: Tiny pearl cabochons

Please join us for this week's Mo's Challenge! Just use at least one of Mo's fabulous images on your card or project for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate for Mo's Digital Pencil!

We'll be looking for you!

Mo's Challenge # 183

Anything Goes!

You know that these are my favorite type of Mo's Challenge...no challenge at all!

I love being afforded the freedom to do anything I want!

This week I have a card I made for our youngest granddaughter's first birthday.

She has been the joy of our lives for twelve months now. Where does the time go?

I've used Mo's "1st Birthday Girl", of course! This is such an adorable image and it's so much fun to color! It's also available as a boy, and both boy and girl are available with curly hair.

Mo's Challenge #182

Pretty Pastel Palette

I hope you all had fun with our combined blog hop last week! It certainly was a joy 

creating with Mo's new images!

Franz is our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week, and she wants us to use

 pastel hues on our projects.

I always have a hard time using the paler colors...I tend to go for bright and bold when I color.

With that said, here is my card for this week! I think you'd call it pastel!

I really love this little girl! She is one of a set of three, each one as cute as the other. I couldn't pick a favorite!

I usually like to paper-piece the dresses, but this time I just created a tiny pattern using a Copic marker.

Images: "Three for Tea" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Stamped sentiment from SU!

Tools: Cuttlebug with Nestibilities and Marianne dies, SU! Guava stamp pad, Nellie Snellen

 embossing rose leaf punch set, mounting tape, Tacky tape

papers: SU! Guava and Vanilla, Neenah white, Digital DP

Embellishments: Satin ribbon, Flowers from WOC

Mo's Challenge #180

I'm Flying!

The theme for Mo's Challenge this week is "Things With Wings." 

Sounds like fun to me!

I chose "Teacup Fairy" for my card. I printed the image four times, 

then colored and cut out 

different parts of the image and layered them to give it a 3-D look.

This is an angled view that shows the layering.

Here's a straight on view.
