Mo's Digital Pencil

For my card today I have used All Dressed Up from Mo's Digital Pencil for my lovely friend who starts a new job in financial services tomorrow.  I used some digital graphs from the Excel spreadsheet tutorial package at 25% opacity as background for this gorgeous image and stencilled over the top with Distress Oxide inks.  The sentiment stamps are by Simon Says Stamp.  I loved this paper pieced dress.  It is just the sort of professional look my friend would go for, especially with the hot pink bag and shoes!

You have just one more day to join in with our "Anything Mo's" theme at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge.  We so enjoy seeing your creations and another challenge will start on Saturday.  And check out Mo's other sites where there is lots of inspiration from my teamies.

Introducing Oskar on the occasion of his Centenary!

For my card today I have used Introducing Oskar from Mo's Digital PencilHe was just perfect to make this card for my FIL's 100th birthday. 


I coloured Oskar with alcohol markers and used lots of dies to jazz up my card.  I asked Mo first if it was OK to add some balloon strings to this image.  Generally, artists don't like you messing with their images but she kindly gave her permission which enabled me to attach these fun numbered Avery Elle balloons.  The Happy Birthday Banner dies are by Poppy Stamps and are strung on a Marianne Design string diecut.   I also used a Papertrey Ink tag die and some Alphabet dies.   Even Oskar is printed on a die cut rectangle.  I used a Simon Says stitched die manipulated between cuts to get the longer shape I needed.  Papers are by Nitwit and Craftwork Cards.

We have an "Anything Goes theme with a Mo Manning image" at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and we would love for you to play along. There are prizes!!!

We have a new theme for "Monochrome" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love you to play along with us.  I have used This Stampin' Up! image from the "Beautiful You" set and some of my favourite Theresa Collins papers and made 3 cards in different colourways.   Admittedly the green one, perhaps isn't quite monochrome.

Baby Fairy Bobbin

For my card today I have used Baby Fairy Bobbin from Mo's Digital Pencil.    I have a tendency to print my images too small sometimes and my colour work hasn't quite done this image justice but I was keen to use these pretty papers and some sewing related embellishments. There is sparkle on this little guy's wings but you can't see it at all in the photo.  I believe the button is a punch, the scissors are Sizzix and the needle and thread is Memory Box.  I love these tiny tags which are punched too.

Our monthly theme, at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge, is always "Anything Goes with a Mo Manning image"  and we hope you will join in the fun.   Do please check out Mo's other sites where there is lots of inspiration from my teamies here...

"Paint your palette blue and gray" with Mo's Digital Pencil "Art Student"

For my card today I have used Art Student from Mo's Digital Pencil  Sometimes you just need to make something fast (for me that means in less than 5 hours) and this image fit the bill.  Art Student, who also comes in a curly haired version, is accompanied by Van Gogh's iconic "Sunflowers" in the frame for you to colour but she also comes with an empty frame for you to create your own painting or drop in an image of your choice.    


We have an "Anything Goes with a Mo Manning image" theme at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge and we would love for you to play along.  There is always lots of inspiration on the challenge blog and also on Mo's other sites...

A Day for Daisies, birds and love!

We have a new theme for "Wedding or Wedding Anniversary" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love for you to join us there.  


I used this lovely embossing folder and lots of dies and punches to make this anniversary card for my little sister who has been married 33 years!  The main image is a cute digistamp by Tammy at A Day for Daisies called, I think, "Bird Swing".   Oh, and I embossed my envelope flap with some clouds too.
