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

I hope you'll join us this week in Mo's Challenge! Just use one or more of Mo's images

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.

Mo's Challenge #179

The Fabric of Our Lives

Tracy is our hostess for Mo's Challenge this week, and she's asked that we use fabric on our cards. 

I've had the idea for a card like this ever since I found some quilt squares left over from a Christmas stocking project from years ago. I kind of like the idea and will definitely be making similar cards in the future.

 The best part is that I've got a start on my Christmas cards!

Try as I might, I just couldn't get a good picture of this card. My camera does a better job with natural sunlight, but it's been pretty gloomy here lately.

Image: "Henry With Wreath" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Cuttlebug with  Embossing folder and Nestibilities, Mounting tape, VersaMark pad, Gold embossing powder, Heat gun

Papers: SU! Garden Green and Real Red, Neenah white

Embellishments: Quilt square, Silk ribbon, Pearl brad

I just know that you'll come up with a new and unusual way to use fabric on your card or project this week! Just be sure to use one of Mo's images and enter the challenge for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to her shop!

So glad you stopped by!
