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


This is an angled view that shows the layering.

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.


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!

For the Women in Our Lives

That's the theme for Mo's Challenge this week. What would we do without the

Mo's Challenge #176



Ribbons and Pearls

This was an easy challenge for me....I use ribbons and pearls on most of my cards! 



Don't you just love this image?! I think it's just perfect for a Get Well card. 
For the past few weeks I've felt very much like this poor bear! I spent the week of February school vacation in bed coughing and sneezing, hacking and wheezing! I'm just now starting to feel human again!
This card gave me fits while I was making it! The robe is paper-pieced, and when gluing it, I got glue on the card stock which made it necessary to cut out the image. I then had the bright idea to cut out the sentiment, too! It was a real pain, but I really think that the botch-up turned into a really cute card. The flowers were made with leftovers from other projects.
Images: Beary Sick f from Mo's Digital Pencil (The sentiment is included!)

Tools: Copics, Xacto knife, MS Lace border punch, Assorted flower and leaf punches, 
Mounting tape, Glue dots

Papers: SU! Celery and Turquoise, Neenah white, SU! DP

Embellishments: Ribbon, Tiny pearl cabochons

I hope you'll join us this week in Mo's Challenge! You just might win a $5.00 gift certificate to Mo's Digital Pencil!
