Mo's Challenge #172

Happy Birthday To......!

We're celebrating birthdays at Mo's Challenge this week! 

 

I've used "Alissa with Roses" on this card. All Mo's images are adorable, but I think the face on this little lady is just lovely!  She's an absolute joy to color, too!

 I really love the way this card turned out. The 'frame' behind the image panel is actually two whole die cuts with parts of a third to fill in the gaps on either side.

 Inside: "To celebrate you! Happy Birthday!"

Mo's Challenge # 171

Another "Anything Goes"

You just gotta love a challenge that's this easy! I love it when I get to do

 whatever I want with no restrictions!

I love "Mummu,"so when I saw this new image, I had to have it! Here she is

 gathering the bounty of her rose garden.

I couldn't resist adding some 'real' faux roses to her bouquet! I just poked  small holes where I wanted to place the flowers and pulled the wires through to the back of the image panel.

Her dress is paper-pieced using a smaller scale of the digital background paper.
That's one ofthe reasons I love digital paper! Just print out the pattern on a lightweight paper, feed it through the printer again, and print the image on top.
Then you just cut out the parts you need and paste it on to your colored image! Fun!

Images: "Mummu's Roses" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Digital sentiment from TLC

Tools: Copics, White gel pen

Papers: SU! Melon Mambo and Celery, Neenah white, Digital DP

Embellishments: Pearl cabochons, Satin ribbon, Roses from WOC, Hat pin, Beads, Dragonfly charm

Lace and Ribbon!

Actually, Mo's Challenge this week is to use either  lace, ribbon, or both on your card or project.

 I chose to use both as I think they go beautifully together.

 Boston Terrier's face, too!

Mo's Challenge #169

 Valentine Boxes

I made these boxes for our granddaughter to give to her classmates on Valentine's Day.
They measure 2 1/2" square and are 1 1/4" deep...just big enough to hold a few candy treats!

They are fairly easy to make, but time-consuming when making 17 of them!

I punched out the different elements, and she decorated them herself.

The directions for the box are here, but I used a 7" square for the top and 6 3/4" square for the bottom of the box.

Paper: Recollections DP

Tools: MS Bird and Heart punches, McGill Envelope punch, Tiny heart punch

Embellishments: Roses from Wild Orchid
 

 Embossing....Wet or Dry!

Mo's Challenge this week is to make a card or project using 

one of Mo's fabulous images and embossing using either the wet or dry technique.

 I've chosen to use dry embossing on this card.

I love this image and can't believe I haven't used it before! 

The little matching origami box  is one of several I'm making for 

our granddaughter to giveto her classmates on Valentine's Day. 

They will have a few little treats inside.

This is another view which shows a bit of the shine from the Spica pen I used 

to highlight her boa and tiara.

Inside: "Wishing you the best of everything on your special day!"

Images: "Diva" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Computer-generated sentiment

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Spica pens, MS Lace border punch, Cuttlebug with 

embossing folder, Mounting tape

Papers: SU! Mambo Melon &Turquoise, Recollections DP, Neenah white,

 PTI white (card base)

Embellishments: Grosgrain ribbon, Prima flowers, White mini brads

I hope you'll join us in Mo's Challenge this week for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Store. She has so many great new images for you!

I always love it when you stop in!

Something New

I hope you'll join us in Mo's Challenge this week. The theme is "Something New" 

 which is open to your  interpretation. 

I chose to make a card for a new baby girl.

This card uses one of Mo's adorable little Fairies. This is the older version of Flora....the newer one doesn't have pointy ears!

Tools: Copics, Glitter gel pen, Cuttlebug with embossing folder and Spellbinder's Daisy dies, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, Nellie Snellen embossing leaf punch set, Corner rounder punch

Make a card or project that fits this week's theme of "Something New" using

 one of Mo's great images for a chance to win a $5.00 gift certificate to her shop. 

She gives away one certificate for every 50 entries!

Good luck!

Rick's Sparkle and Glitter Challenge

New Beginnings!

The idea for this challenge is anything new...a new design, color combination, technique, etc. , 

or you can do as I did and make a card or project to celebrate someone's new beginning. 

In this case it's a new home.

This card uses Rick St. Dennis' pretty "Three Chimney Cottage", one of several pretty images in a series inspired by the lovely English countryside.

The color combination is a bit off-beat, but I really like it! I picked up the colors I used in the image.

Image: Rick St. Dennis' "Three Chimney Cottage"

Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with embossing folders And Nestie die,  SU! Ribbon slot punch, Martha Stewart Lace border punch

Papers: SU! Gray, Garden Green, More Mustard, and Vanilla CS, Neenah smooth white (for image)

Embellishments: Satin ribbon
