Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sharing a fun barn yard scene featuring All Dressed Up digital stamp Wellie Boots .  She's a cutie and works perfectly with the barn yard background digital from Mo Manning. The image was printed onto X-Press It card stock and colored with alcohol markers then fussy cut.  To allow the cute gardener to be the focal image, I colored the background with various cool grey alcohol markers. The wonky stitched die cut panel was layered onto polka dot card stock by Colorbok.

  I was so sad to read that this will be the last challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil.  I really appreciate the design team inspiration and generosity of Mo Manning hosting these challenges. My card features the adorable Baby With Wagon digital image.  Be sure to stop by Mo's shop where you'll find a huge variety of fun digital images.   The image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  I've layered the image onto patterned papers from Echo Park Happy Birthday paper pad.  I finished with a few enamel dots and Happy Birthday sentiment. This card will be going out to my second cousin later this month when he will turn 1 year old!  I'm sharing my card with the following: Mo's Digital Stamps Challenge #310 Anything "Mo" Goes Word Art Wednesday Challenge:  #521 - 522 Anything Goes

  I'm joining the current Mo's challenge to use one of her retiring images.  It was SO hard to select an image for this challenge!  There are so many adorable images retiring. My card features the adorable In The Bath .  The image was colored with alcohol markers and prismacolor pencils.   I wanted to the little girl to come off the card so I fussy cut the top portion of the scene.  It was mounted onto 4.25 SU Regal Rose card stock and folded.  I remembered the fun Sizzix Bright Bubbles die cut in my stash. Perfect!!

  I was the lucky winner at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge for April.  Mo generously provides the winner with a fun image from the shop and a chance to guest design with the team. I've been building up my birthday card stash lately.  I found inspiration on Pinterest for this clean and simple design using Mo's Lazy Mutt digital set.  The images were printed onto Kraft card stock using Microsoft Word.  The sentiments were inserted with Word as well. Prismacolor pencils were used to color the images.  I layered the panel onto polkadot paper from Colorbok. Hope you get a chance to join Mo's team this month.  It's always "Anything Goes" as long as a Mo Manning image is the main focus.

  I'm joining the Anything Goes Challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil with an older image by Mo Manning called Summer Girl.  (Sorry, it appears to be retired as I was unable to find it in the store.) My shaker card started with a pasta box --- Yep, I salvaged this ziti pasta box when I spotted the fun window on the front!! Crazy, huh?!  Well, I trimmed the cardboard to the appropriate size then layered my designer paper.  The "window" was die cut on my dp with a Spellbinder rectangle die.     I added Sprinkles Embellishments from Stampin' Up! for the shaker design.  The sweet Summer Girl digi was colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut.  The sun die and sentiment are from Lil' Inkers Designs. I'm super happy with how this turned out.  I hope it brings a smile to the recipients face!  I would like to share my card with the following: Mo's Digital Challenge #302 - Anything Goes with A Mo Image Word Art Wednesday Challenge:  Anythi...

  I'm sharing an Anniversary card with the current Mo's Digital Challenge featuring one of my favorite Mo Manning images - Tom and Tilly . The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.  I fussy cut the image and layered it with dimension foam onto a galaxy background.   I experimented with the "grass" by layering various sizes of die cut circles.  It's difficult to see, but I like the effect and will try it again!

The image was colored with Copic markers and sponged with Memento inks for the sky.  The sunburst die panel was in my stash.  It was created with Tim Holtz alcohol inks and Yupo paper.  A fun technique that provides a unique background each time.  A sentiment from My Favorite Things and dewdrops finish the card.

  I'm playing along with the current Anything Goes challenge over at Mo's challenge blog.  I've merged two of Mo's digital images to create this scene.  Thinking of You and Beach Elements 1 . The image was colored with Copic Markers.  The sky was sponged with Memento ink and a scallop die to create the clouds.  Memento ink was lightly sponged for the ocean and sand.  Designer papers are from Bo Bunny Key Lime paper pad.

Today starts a new challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil .  The challenge theme for December is Winter.  We would love to see your Mo Manning images including snow, Christmas and any winter themed project. I was the lucky winner of the October challenge and selected the adorable new Happiness Is digital image as my prize.   I was also asked to join the team this month as Guest Designer.  I'm not gonna lie... Mo's Design Team is so full of talented ladies that I was a little intimidated!   BUT Mo's digis are so fabulous and fun to color that this little card went together quickly. The card base was created with a watercolor wash using distress inks.  Once dried, I splattered white acrylic paint using a toothbrush for a snowy effect.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut then layered over a wintery die cut from Memory Box.  I finished the card with a sentiment stamp from my stash.

Have you heard the news?  The Mo Manning Digital Stamp Challenges are back!  Their first challenge is Anything Mo Goes with an optional Spring theme. My card features a sweet digital image and sentiment from Mo's shop called In the Spring .  I kept my card design simple to focus on the sweet little gardener girl.  The scene was colored with Alcohol markers. I used a scallop die to mask and sponge the cloudy sky. I layered the image onto an embossed background panel then added a couple of butterflies and Stampin' Up! ribbon.  The butterflies and emboss panel were a crafty gift from my mom who is also a card maker.   We try to stretch our craft supplies by sharing!
