Mo's Challenge #188

The Children's Challenge!

Mo's Challenge this week is to use at least one image of a child from Mo's collection on a card or project. 

I used "Howdy" on this card. She's absolutely a joy to color and comes with two sentiments, neither of which is on this card! I used a white gel pen and fine black marker to simulate a bandana print on her neck scarf, and a white gel pen for the polka dots on her skirt.
This is a retirement card for one of the many people who are leaving our school this year. I'd better get busy! I have several more to make!

Images: "Howdy" from Mo's Digital Pencil, Computer-generated sentiment (Lariat font)

Tools: Copics, White gel pen, Thin blue marker, Mounting tape, Circle punches

Papers: SU! Real Red, Kraft, Neenah white, Corrugated cardboard, Assorted DP

Embellishments: Natural twine, Chipboard stars
*******************************
This is also the week for children to enter their cards and projects using one of Mo's cute images.

Looking forward to seeing what you and the kids will do for a chance to win!

Mo's Challeng #187

Summer's Coming!

 

That's the theme for Mo's Challenge this week!

For our family, summer means that the horse show season is in full swing, with shows almost every weekend.

Our granddaughter just turned 10 years old, and she's been riding since she was three!

I made this card for her birthday.

 

 

 

She owns a 6 year old Morgan named Whiteout who's 16 hands and a beautiful animal! The two just love each other, and this image so reminds me of them.

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!

Mo's Challenge #185

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

Tine, who is from Norway, is our hostess, and she's asked us to use red, white, and blue (the colors of her country's flag) in our cards and projects this week.

This card was made as an invitation to a retirement party for two colleagues who are retiring this year.

I just love this party girl! She looks like she knows how to have fun!

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!

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.
